#i think everyone else is harry

the good thing about being a new 1d fan is that I get to play the game of "who is singing this verse?" !

[statementlou]

Tbh i am not surprised that a person who openly talked about having drinking problems since 1d days, because of how crazy 1d worked has been agressive. What surprises me is people being surprised (they never seriously saw drunk person?). But i am also confused about this whole book. Apparently Maya said that that book is not fully bout Liam but compilation about her exes and some of the worst parts are not about him. But recently she said that the book is “ofc about him” so what is true then? Or did she meant it that ofc some parts are about him or that whole book is about him?

Sorry, just confused

I also am not surprised- we've learned so much more about the real stories of things and about the guys' actual lives over the last years, and the story that has unfolded around Liam has been totally consistent throughout if you've been following it, and so the information Maya is telling us is shocking and upsetting but not difficult to believe. I got an anon yesterday saying they were worried about getting similar revelations about the other boys, like "if Liam could be doing this we just don't know, any of them could", and while in a way that's always true I guess, anyone could be doing anything in private like... that doesn't really concern me. Because none of these Liam revelations are coming out of nowhere, there have been many MANY steps along the way leading us here if you've been watching, and he has talked openly about both his mental health struggles and his addiction issues. So to answer that anon... to find out something similar about Louis would in contrast contradict everything we know about him and no I'm not worried about it. Is he probably very irritating, absolutely, but an abuser or a loose cannon, well that news would shock me. But anyway as for the book I don't find it strange that she was nervous when it came out and treading lightly and later decided, fuck it. In the absolutely on point tiktok she dropped today (YES👏GIRL👏FUCKING TELL THEM👏) she even mentions attempts to keep her from publishing the book, presumably by Liam's team, that I am riveted by and cannot WAIT to hear more details about actually- like I said I don't find it at all strange that she was nervous and downplayed it a bit then. But if she says now that it's just about Liam, well, I would say it's been clear from the beginning that the book is their story. Maya herself brought up the parallel of songs being written about stuff and I think it's the same thing; it's true (she was in an abusive relationship that involved certain kinds of events) but maybe not 100% literal (I'm sure details were changed to make the story work, it's not like a word for word timeline of their interactions or whatever).

I love spuffy as much as the next guy but ohhh my gawddd I really kinda wish it had been buffy wil and xand to finish the fight. they started it together, and while they've always had outside help, I just think it would've been so good if each of them had their own big important parts to play since this was the last we get to see of them

One of the things I always consider within the context of the wizarding world and the consequences of having magical powers is the idea of consent within the story.

(I’m sorry this will likely be very rambly and unfocused)

Within book 6 (The half blood prince) we get introduced to the idea of love potions and the consequences of them when utilized on a person. This is a nonconsensual act using potions to force another person to “love” another, including forcing them to kiss, have sex with, and be so devoted that they would be willing to do anything for a person.

Yet, it is still treated as a joke/not that serious within the story (Romilda Vane attempting to drug Harry).

The introduction of this potion was one of the first things that made me look back at past charms, spells, potions etc. that would be in direct violation of a persons consent which is treated nonchalantly by the characters in the wizarding world.

In book 2 (the chamber of secrets) we get introduced to the idea of the oblivious charm, used by Lockhart to alter a persons memory. We are told this is wrong, but most of the moral dilemma is focused on the fact that Lockhart is stealing credit for the acts of others, NOT that it is a spell done without consent which could have devastating affects on a persons psyche.

We get a glimpse of these affects in book 5 where we see Lockhart still affected by the backfired spell, unable to remember his actions.

The reason why I am focusing on this charm in particular, is that Hermione used it on her parents. Unconsensually deleting their memories of her and moving them to another country. Essentially making the choice for them on whether or not they would be involved in the war and their daughter’s life.

I feel this is not given nearly as much focus as it should be in the canon or fanon, they could have had their memories permanently removed, if done wrong there could have been permanent brain damage?

But this also hints at the fact that other magical folk have been using memory charms on muggles forever, as seen in book 3 w Aunt Marge. Now, we all don’t like her, but that doesn’t mean someone’s memory should be altered or completely removed without their consent. The idea of someone unknowingly rummaging around in your thought, memories and overall mind is horrifying, especially when you won’t even remember it after.

There’s also the whole, Dudley’s pig tail and the twins joke candy on Dudley. Both being horrible pranks to experience and the first he had to get surgery to remove. Neither of these he consented to experiencing yet are treated as jokes. Wizards have a sense of superiority to muggles to the point that they are willing to overlook their opinions, even the pro-muggle wizards do this.

While I focused mostly on wizards not respecting the consent of muggles, this is absolutely seen between wizards as well.

We all know the scene of Snape being held upside down and stripped by James.

Draco being transformed into a ferret by “moody”

Hell, the entire idea of imperio? Which, side note, how the fuck did “moody” get no repercussions for using on a student? Even with consent, that spell makes it impossible to opt out once under UNLESS you are powerful enough to break through, which is never a guarantee.

Children are given a weapon at ELEVEN which could theoretically be made to make other people do whatever they want. These kids should absolutely be taught about the ethical and moral usage of magic!!!!

I don’t know if any of this made any sense, but just, I think more people in fanfics should focus on the idea of consent within the magical world and how it should be treated with respect.

Heir to the House of Prince mentions it, and I just need m o r e.

I think the best part about jegulus is that james can be completely himself around regulus cause regulus has already seen the worst parts of him. Sure james is known as the golden griffindor boy but to regulus? Who he thought was the cowardly baby brother of his best friend who always posed problems? You know he would have been a downright asshole in a misguided attempt to make sirius feel better

[abrahamvanhelsings]

"goodsir is neoliberalism bc he tried to kill those guys blah blah blah" they kidnapped him and then they made him cut up men to be consumed as an act of control and pure humiliation by threatening to kill probably the last man he still liked in that party, forcing him to be complicit in an act he is viciously against, and to be complicit in the survival of the very men who betrayed the whole expedition and who are using him like a tool. and then the guy he's trying to protect comes up to him to sob and monologue at him about cannibalism and religion and acts of survival and belief as some kind of justification for the fact that he's an absolute pussy ass bitch who'd rather lie down and take it than stand up in the face of acts and circumstances he finds abhorrent. and goodsir was supposed to not be a cunt abt that? lol

I Know kim and harry literally index the case using the date 08/03 suggesting this is the date of day 1 however ruby's diary entry says M's peone is coming to martinaise to investigate on the Ninth (and besides, it doesnt fit with the date of death being the fourth and that the corpse has been hanging for seven days as of day 1). might the index just use eg the date the corpse was reported to the rcm rather than the date assigned officers actually make it to the scene

[iamnmbr3]

unpopular opinion: given the little voldemort collage regulus had going he was probably a lot more similar to barty crouch jr. than he tends to be seen as.

harry picks up knitting during the summer after the wars over.

he's restless and can't sit still, he feels ready to vibrate out of his skin with all the pent up energy inside of him that's got nowhere to go. it's like he's stuck in the adrenaline rush of war long after everyone else has already crashed, burned, and been reborn again.

he goes to hogwarts multiple days a week to help the rebuilding effort, spends hours working off all of the energy inside of him. but it's still not enough. as soon as he gets back to the burrow his legs are bouncing, his hands shaking, his eyes fa darting back and forth constantly.

molly finally takes pity on him and starts letting him help around the house again after shooing away his offers one too many times.

he already knows how to cook, how to clean, from life with the dursleys. they're things he actively enjoys too, both in spite of and because of life with dursleys as well. he already knows how to do these things, but molly teaches him how to do it all the wizarding way. she teaches him to make different sorts of breads, even helps him make his own sourdough starter. she teaches him how to make all sorts of dishes, desserts, drinks. she teaches him cleaning charms and cooking charms. she even shows him laundry spells, he vows to show her and mr weasley a muggle washer and dryer.

but what he likes the most that she shows him, is how to knit.

he had already known the basics, as he'd tried to learn with hermione when she had started to make her house elf hats. he'd never stuck with it, and quickly gave up. but he'd been patient this time and let molly teach him to make hats, scarves, socks, sweaters.

he keeps the hobby once he goes back to hogwarts for their eighth year too. he can often be seen sitting in the eighth year common room surrounded with yarn. sometimes hermione will join him. it's fun, he thinks, having such an innocent, unhurried hobby.

he completes his first sweater for christmas.

its deep red, with dark green trim, and a large dark green 'M' in the middle of it.

re: this follow-up poll on my dopey little post about lan xichen and all his sad flute solos, i'm so mad that i can't draw to save my life because the image of post-canon lan xichen in the gusu lan banquet extra going full harry du bois on karaoke night singing 'the smallest church in saint-saëns' (where you fail your drama check and it's the limbic system who has the wheel) just sprang fully formed into my head, and i really wish i could make this vision a reality.

The beef between me and my ultra-religious coworker is so silly to me because once again, she finds ways to throw religion into everything and again I’m being victimized by my workplace’s Question of the Day.

Today’s question: “what book do you recommend”

My answer: “The Humans by Matt Haig” (this book follows an alien as he learns about humans and what makes humanity so complex and yet beautiful. It involves a lot of math and scientific concepts while still remaining science fiction)

My coworker’s answer: “The Bible by God”

the prank is so fucking overrated and it acatually bothers me so much when people try to make it such a staple moment of the marauders

the thing about steban is, i do regularly have to remind myself not to cinnamon-roll-ify him too much. like he's gentle and kind, yes, and he likes getting slapped also, but lbr a part of him wants power
