Dragon Age: Origins

Has references to assault, magic sex rituals, asks you if you would kill a child who was just trying to save his father, would you put a corrupt murderer with progressive views on a throne, slavery, revenge...

Dragon Age 2:

Deals with themes of prejudice, salvery, assault, refugees, religious zealots, toxic relationships, serial killers, and acts of terrorism.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

Talks about faith, religion, godhood, conversion therapy, brainwashing, political assassination, corruption INSIDE political/religious institutions, discussion of slavery, Transphobia and homophobia as well as Genocide.

While Dragon Age does have heroes and you play as a hero.

It DOES have dark themes and subject matters.

So, no Lily it's just a heroic fantasy.

Lily keep Dragon Age out of your mouth you sound like the grifter chud tourists trying to screech about how Veilguard is "woke" and going to fail right now.

Yeah you definitely feel like a hero by the end of Dragon Age 2.

ep 43 had me tearing up in a fucking shopping centre ‼️‼️

b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3

[quillkiller]

i always see hc’s about sirius & lily bonding over their estranged relationships with their siblings but what we really need to discuss is how it’s another reason for them to mistrust and/or dislike and/or not respect each other because reg & lily feel like they were abandoned while sirius & petunia are the older siblings who left them behind ..

SIRIUS BLACK RETURNS: A BLACK LIVES EXCLUSIVE!

Black Lives, the most watched reality TV show first in the UK, then in the world, from Pensieve Production, is well-known, and so is the family the show follows. The Blacks, from the late English nobility, started this project almost fifteen years ago, and it had since been going strong. The shows followed closely Walburga and Orion Black (or as many call them, THE power couple), beloved Alphard Black, Cygnus and Druella Black, as well as frequent apparition from Lucrecia née Black now Prewett and her husband Ignatius. Other usuals guest stars were Arcturus Black, the family patriarch, and the five family children: Bellatrix, Andromeda, Narcissa, Sirius, and Regulus, whom the show started centering itself on.

Andromeda created the scandal nine years ago when, then aged eighteen, she renounced her family to marry a commoner. (Since then, she gave birth to an adorable daughter!) Four years later — and thus five years from now — the heir of the family himself, Sirius Black, stopped appearing on the show. The family at the time told us the sixteen years-old wanted to focus on both his studies and mental health and as such, was taking a much-needed break. Of course, multiple theories spawned following this statement — but need for it no more!

Just this morning, Pensieve Production announced Sirius Black’s return in an upcoming, special, exclusive season!

“It is with great joy that we are welcoming Sirius back with us,” states Tom Riddle, the Blacks’ manager. “We missed him during those years, but we know how important it was for him. And now, he will, if he wishes so, tell you more about it himself!”

We got more details about this exclusive season as well:

“We will follow Sirius and his brother Regulus on a vacation across the Mediterranean,” announced Riddle — to the glee of quite a lot of us, I would assume! “They will be joined by a few friends, some of which are quite familiar to our long-time viewers.”

Some of those friends are already confirmed. As such, we will greet James Potter (Sirius Black’s long-term best friend, and maybe more), as well as Peter Pettigrew, Remus Lupin, and a young lady somes could have forgotten but who appeared a few times in Sirius' last season on the show, Mary Macdonald.

Riddle teased—

“What are you reading?”

Remus startles, his phone almost falling out of his hands; Sirius, thankfully, catches it. Not thankfully, he starts reading the article — and groans rather unnecessarily, if anyone asks Remus.

“How many times did I tell you not to read those?”

“It was in my recommendations?” he tries innocently.

Sirius sends him an unimpressed look.

“James!” he hollers, and then waits; from somewhere on the ground floor of their house, James hollers right back.

“Yes?”

“We need to keep Remus away from Internet!”

“Hey!” he protests, but Sirius just drops a kiss into his hair with a smirk and no answer.

“Okay!” unhelpfully agrees James; it would be it if Lily hadn’t appeared in the doorway, then, a pile of her favorite fluffy towels in her arms.

“What for?”

Sirius waves Remus's phone as if its answer enough. Lily reaches for it, checks the screen, and sighs.

“Oh, Remus,” she says with a soft, concerned tone he hates having directed at him.

“I just wanted to read a few comments,” he mutters.

“It’s my first time and even I know it’s a bad idea,” she notes, handing the phone back to Sirius. They exchange a look, and she nods decidedly before leaving again.

“Easy to say, everyone loves her,” Remus mutters some more. He has grown disaccoutumed of the show and all it entails over the years, perhaps. He’s feeling almost anxious now.

Sirius drops on the bed beside him, putting an arm around his shoulders and embracing him protectively.

“And we love you,” he reminds him softly.

Remus burrows himself against his chest, feeling Sirius’ heartbeat under his ear. “Yeah, I know. I love you too.”

“Good.” Sirius kisses his hair again, tender and fond, and Remus wants to bottle it and drink it every time he feels down.

bartylily hcs but from a person that doesn't know much about fandom's barty:

in a young achiever's program together. they both hate it. and also practically run it.

prefect rounds together but its lily being annoyed barty is always late, and barty being late because he was getting snacks from the kitchens because he can tell lily is always high during prefect rounds

them both being friends with benefits with one of their best friends (lily & marlene and barty & evan)

lily reading in the library and barty appearing from between bookshelves to tell her spoilers of every book

barty joins the ravenclaw quidditch team one year and lily makes out with him straight after seeing him play (jocks are very much her type)

lily sells essays to other students and she hires barty on to write essays for subjects she doesn't take/doesn't have time for. he requests to be paid in muggle sweets instead of money. she doesn't understand why but accepts. he does it because he just finds essay writing fun but doesn't want to seem like he's doing it for nothing.

barty giving stick n poke tattoos to people and lily ends up getting loads of random doodles all over her arms. she loves it.

the kind of people to come out of an exam after smashing it, walk around the corner to meet each other and dance and scream in celebration. also when they get their exam results as well.

slug club members. all of barty's friends are in slug club so he just goes with them, whilst lily takes a friend that isn't in it (usually remus or emmeline), but they always end up doing weird competitions with each other anyway (trying to eat as much gross food without throwing it up, starting a conga and betting with each other on who will join, competiting to tell the wildest stories that slughorn still belives is true, etc)

[animentality]

I love video essays about topics I don't understand or have never thought of, where the OP is absolutely deranged with hatred or love. Explain your passion to me! I don't care what it is, I care about how you feel. Help me see your world, tinged with red.

Understanding Snape and his character

I've been knee-deep in the Snape debate lately, and I’ve got some thoughts I need to lay out. Snape undeniably did some awful things as an adult, and he’s aware of that—he holds himself accountable and we should too. But his story isn’t just a straightforward tale of good versus evil.

Thinking about Snape, especially after diving into his memories in Deathly Hallows, it’s evident he was trying to make up for his past. When Snape begged Dumbledore to protect Lily and the Potters, it wasn't just a plea for safety—it was a glimpse into his desire for redemption and his need to atone because he knew he fucked up by relaying the prophecy. Dumbledore saw potential in him, not just as a spy, but as someone capable of change and redemption. Lily, the person he loves, being in danger and later dying, saved Snape and forced him to change. She was the catalyst for Snape's redemption arc and that's literally the whole point.

Then there’s Snape’s upbringing—a life marred by abuse at home and relentless bullying at school. That kind of trauma leaves deep scars; it molded Snape into a bitter and vindictive person. I can’t help but sympathize with him. He wasn’t born an asshole; circumstances shaped him that way. His journey from an abused home life to a bullied youth, to a Death Eater, and eventually to an antihero is a stark reminder of the complexities of human nature. It frustrates me to no end that people shower sympathy on abused characters like Harry, who turned out kind, yet refuse to extend the same empathy to Snape, who emerged bitter and vindictive—something so painfully realistic. Their situations were fundamentally different; Harry had a whole support system and was rich as fuck, but Snape had none and was living in poverty. Comparing them is unfair and misses the point entirely.

So when I see debates reducing Snape to a mere villain or hero, good or evil, I can’t help but feel we’re oversimplifying a deeply layered character. You can dislike Snape all you want, but painting him out to be something he's not, simplifying his character, and completely shitting on him is such an insult and a wrong interpretation of who he truly is. Snape’s morally grey journey through darkness and redemption is a testament to human struggle and growth. To truly understand Snape is to grasp his tumultuous path and his relentless quest to reconcile his actions with his conscience—a journey that resonates with the complexities of real life.

Idk if anyone else will understand this but Lily reminds me a lot of Ethan Klein from the H3 podcast. Ethan was an OG edgy YouTuber but he did a rebrand within the last few years to seem more progressive. But even after this change he still couldn’t take criticism very well. He admitted he doesn’t know any black people, he yelled at a black viewer because she called in to set him straight about the Will Smith Oscar’s slap thing (which he had said some crazy shit about), a gay guy called in to say he didn’t appreciate all the bottoming jokes Ethan made and Ethan asked if he had to wear a diaper because he was a bottom. He uses the word bitch way too often to feel comfortable. For a while he would skate around using the R slur but now he just says it. He still uses similar R slur-adjacent insults (were you dropped on your head as a baby, etc) and calls people freaks and weirdos a lot. His community is moderated with a VERY heavy hand, the slightest criticism from even paying members can get them permanently banned. He’s in hot water right now because he’s a straight up Zionist and was going on Islamophobic rants toward Arab creators but that’s not really applicable to Lily. Although, the way he calls anyone who disagrees with him an Anti-Semite feels pretty familiar.

Performative ally-ship, a progressive rebrand, being weird about black people, wild insults, intense moderation, using an identity as a shield. I’m sure tons of other YouTubers fall into these categories, I just saw this one super clearly because I’ve been following the H3 shitstorm at the same time as the Lily shitstorm.

(I also just wanted to say I understand that their community sizes are WAY different, I just think Lily and Ethan as people seem pretty alike.)

Listen, I know there’s canon pre-soul jam designs and they really don’t look that different from canon, but. This is my AU, and we’re getting funky.

Flat designs under the cut!

it's always funny to me how Wolfstar is one of the most popular ships of the entirety of the HP series but people will practically stone you if you ship Snily bc "he called her a mudblood", as if this isn't the same thing as the Prank with the small detail that the Prank is 800x worse

Prongsfoot Week 2024 day 3

Favorite Canon/Potentially Canon moment - IE, something like Sirius comforting James after the DADA OWL and Lily’s reaction or (even though it’s platonic) the moment James asked Sirius to be Harry’s godfather.  

I think, because I am a sucker for angst, it might be Sirius's best man speech at the wedding. This all falls under potentially canon, heavy on the potentially. But I imagine Sirius was in love with James, and James loved Sirius. Because there's just no world where they don't love each other. It's just that James loved Lily too, and in the 70s/80s one of them was a more acceptable choice than the other. And it never really hit him that what he was doing with Sirius wasn't exactly fitting within the box of 'best friends'. He just loved Sirius, and that would always be true. And then his parents got sick and wanted to see him happy before they died, and James wanted to have them there for as much as possible, and he'd never questioned what his future would be and he didn't then either. He'd always known he'd marry a beautiful woman and have children to run around the house with their toy wands. And he did love Lily.

Sirius loved James in every way someone can love someone else. So it wasn't even a choice for him; if he didn't get to have James romantically he would take the pain of that rather than give up all the rest of it. He didn't tell James he would never love someone else. He didn't tell James he was in love in the first place. Instead, he encouraged James to go after Lily. Because Sirius loved James in every way someone can love someone else, and more than anything he wanted James to be safe and happy out in the sunshine. And he could only ever have the shadows with Sirius. Something hidden and shameful and illegal. And they could be best friends. Sirius loved him like that too, and it could be enough. Only, as one does, James's speech at the wedding was all about how lucky he was to be marrying his best friend and when Sirius stood up to speak not long after he could only hope everyone would believe the tears were just nostalgia and happiness for his friend.

I imagine he stood up and looked down at the man he loved, and the wife that Sirius had grown to care for. I imagine he wished them well, and meant it with his whole heart. I imagine he told stories about James asking Lily out and being turned down, about how James grew up and they actually got to know one another. I imagine he spoke about James's nerves before the first date, and didn't mention that Sirius sucked him off to soothe them. I imagine he didn't say how that was the last time they ever did anything like it, that he didn't say how much he wished the world was different and he could be the one in white. I imagine there wasn't a dry eye in the room, I imagine Sirius sighed with relief that they were all smiling too. I imagine he looked at Lily and asked her to take care of James for him. And I imagine if he'd looked at James he would have seen the heartbreak as he realised Sirius loved him in every way a person can love someone else, which James hadn't known until that very moment was even an option.
