pt 2 of dudley and his attempt at redemption

he goes to therapy after he moves out. he comes to the realization that he was part of the problem

he didn't talk to harry potter for years

he didn't talk much to his parents either

but he still talked to them

he got a girlfriend, broke up, got a girlfriend, broke up

he missed the way that sweet sweet girl made him feel

but that time in his life is over, even if that wonderful girl will always hold a place in his heart

but he meets someone through a friend

she's beautiful. she has short black hair and grayish brown eyes, she has a square frame and a long hooked nose

dudley’s stomach flips pleasantly

she is kind and funny, she loves hiking and moths and can't draw to save her life, she hates tea and coffee and fizzing drinks but loves water and milk and tomato juice, she likes dark chocolate and is allergic to bees, she has four sisters and a little brother who is in junior high, she is 5’10” and wears heels everywhere, making her even taller 

it took a while for him to ask her out, but he does, and she says yes (dudley is shocked, but his friend tells him he's selling himself short)

they go on one date, then another, and another 

the woman, asks him to make things offical. of course, he says yes

they get married after 4 years of dating

they have two little girls

and the first has unexplained disasters. she's wild and once dudley could have sworn he saw her flying. he has a funny feeling about that. 

when she was eleven, a letter came along with an old woman who explains that his daughter was a witch (dudley isn't surprised)

it took a lot of digging to find harry, but he was determined and even if it took him three months

his wife took it well, or as well as she could. she just started laughing when dudley admitted to being cousins with one of the most famous wizards of their century

meeting harry is weird. he's grown and has a beard and a leaner body, but he's the same height and still has scars littering his hands and arms. 

but harry is kind, and he helps him 

he explains things to dudley, gives him recommendations on books and tells him that he was apart of a war and the wizarding world is still healing, so to be careful

so when his eldest daughter is sent to hogwarts with harry’s children, she is ready

his youngest never receives a letter

but he makes sure to not favor either. he doesn't call anyone a freak or stupid or evil or unworthy of magic. he makes sure they're both included in everything. 

and his daughters grow up happy

dudley dursley is 37 when he apologizes to harry potter.

dudley dursley is 37 when harry potter tells him that even if it's not excusable, he’s willing to give him another chance

people sure do love consuming content but ignoring art huh

is it really that hard to click a kudos button (not the tumblr like button, seriously fuck that noise) if you reach the end of a fic, or writing two words ("loved/liked this") to encourage a writer?

also is it *really* that difficult to hit reblog on this site? be real with me for a second. is it?

yall are just bunch of consumers who are destroying any fun in making and sharing art cause yall are so conditioned to the quick-and-fast-blink-and-you-miss-it consumerism of modern social media content

CLICKING BUTTONS TO ENCOURAGE AND SHARE STUFF IS FREE. TYPING OUT TWO WORDS TO TELL SOMEONE YOU LIKED THEIR WORK ENOUGH TO FINISH READING IT IS FREE AND TAKES FIVE SECONDS MAX

you literally have no excuse. thats all

Måneskin cover Humble by Kendrick Lamar and it goes so fucking hard 🔥 This is my favorite thing they’ve done musically since La Fine and Il Donna Della Vita.

I love that the vocals and instruments are unadulterated hard rock. You can hear Ethan’s growth as a composer too. The drums are interesting, not just the same ole same old. Over all this is my favorite sound from Måneskin maybe with the exception of Coraline if I’m in the mood. They’re really good at this pissed off, kinda grungy Rage Against the Machine inspired rap-hard rock fusion. A lot of artists have tried to pull it off but few do so naturally and effortlessly.

It feels like the sound they’ve been working toward since Måneskin’s conception.

However it does leave a bit of a bad taste in my mouth since Måneskin have covered Black artists in the past and sang racial slurs. Humble and it’s masterpiece of a music video address complex aspects of religion, race, status, culture, and more. Based on their past oversights I kinda doubt Måneskin have taken the time to understand those aspects.

as a zookeeper I have to do public talks fairly often and where I live it is a legal requirement for zoos to educate the public on conservation issues (which is done in part by public talks).

I just love starting off a talk talking about how cute the animals are and where they live and how they hunt and whatever else. All the fun facts about their behaviour and the enrichment we provide and things like that. and just when they're invested and having a good time i hit them with the ol' "this is why the exotic pet trade is evil" and just watch their faces change as i talk about why they should be mindful of the videos they watch on the internet. absolute gold. even better when i can TELL they're having The Realisation

another “god i fucking hate my sister for existing” moment and the infamous fernsong sequence that is honestly kinda weird cause it explicitly states that she-cats are the only ones expected to raise kits and thats not the man’s job and shit but the fandom slobbered all over it and shat on everyone who preferred the lesbian ivypool hc because somehow this is actually the most feminist groundbreaking scene ever bc fernsong is breaking the rule that Men Dont Raise Babies and he deserves endless praise for it, back to back. truly a cursed pair of pages

I love the scene in naruto shippuden where Kakashi says "I'm really starting to take a liking to you" not because naruto freaks the hell out but because this implies that for the other like 3 and a half years Naruro knew Kakashi and the 16 years Kakshi knew of Naruto Kakshi just did not like Naruto at all.

I don't usually complain about shit like ratios but could you imagine if people reblogged fics like they reblogged dumb shit posts. like if the shit we actually worked hard on got the kind of notes that this ask that took me two seconds to answer got, we'd never beg for reblogs again.

My aunt fucking ruined everything I was going to be FINE and then right after I explicitly told her to leave me alone today because I need space because I am extremely sensitive and physically suffering/in a lot of pain, right after I signaled very obviously that I just need a little bit of patience, she chooses THIS MORNING of all mornings to snap at me about hurrying up in the most smug and fucking aggressive tone of voice she has! The exact one she has used on me for years when I’m in trouble and she wants to talk down at me about it! And now I can’t go to work because she couldn’t wait two fucking seconds and give me a little more patience today INSTEAD OF LESS after I explicitly asked for it and I had a meltdown!!!!!!!!!! Is two fucking minutes on the clock more important to you than me!!!! Is it that important!!!!!! I’m so fucking angry I could scream

it's so funny to me when i see people talk about the mcu like "oughhh they should have used [x] character's theme in the soundtrack in the 5 second scene they appeared in" like you really think the mcu soundtracks are cohesive enough across movies to be able to incorporate motifs and themes in a meaningful way. you really think that. lol. lmao, even.
