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
#abused harry potter#abusive dursley family#i don’t like dudley#but i hate his parents#dudley dursley redemption#dudley dursley#fuck the dursleys#but dudley is a product of his environment and he chose to tell harry that he wasn’t a waste of space#yes it’s the bare fucking minimum#but it also shows he’s learning#this is dudley being a decent human being#even if he’s still really flawed i think he’s healing#and realizing how fucked up he was#but let me be clear when i say#harry does not owe him forgiveness or help#i think#i think harry thinks he does#bc he was raised in a sick and twisted way that made him think his problems weren’t the priority#dudley and harry’s relationship is so so important#it’s for everyone that was hurt by their siblings or cousins or friends#not just physically but emotionally#but i think dudley deserves to try to be better

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
#back on my bullshit? yes im tired and just about ready to start throwing hands#stop being awful to fic writers. support your friends and moots. expand your horizons by reading new stuff#'i dont even go here but' is one of the most encouraging forms of commenting. fucking use it#and also reblog this or i swear to fucking god#..can you tell im hungry? i sure can but it doesnt change the fact that this is still true and i hate it how often it needs to be said#im fucking trying my goddamn hardest here. yall could do the bare fucking minimum jfc#yes i wrote this in a very guilt trippy way but i literally dont care. tough love or whatever the fuck#im gonna go make dinner good fucking day#night is an absolute mess on main

#i need to take an uber to the vet TEN MINUTES AWAY#i repeat IT IS A TEN MINUTE DRIVE#and its gonna cost me nearly 60 bucks. the FUCK#and who knows how much the checkup for my cats is gonna cost#let alone whatever prescription they need for the long drive#im so tired. im so so tired#its moments like these where i can see my future#ah yes. working 9-5 for a company that sees me as nothing more than a tool to be replaced when broken#just barely scraping by on minimum wage in a world where that isnt enough to pay for essentials#left with no time or energy to actually enjoy being alive or do the things i love#years and years of the same exact shit over and over and over again hating every second#and KNOWING it could be so much better but also knowing that it fucking Cant. sigh#sorry sorry im just. angry again at the absolute state of things#i would love to love life but my fucking god the world at large makes it tough#white-knuckling the little things once again#man its just. its so STUPID lmao#like why are we torturing ourselves like this? why are we just Accepting this#life could be so great but stupid shit like taxes and inflation and utilities exist#most of the shit we have to pay for should be free. it should be free.#it shouldnt be difficult to Live just because the majority of us don't have the fake fucking paper to buy things#its pointless its ridiculous and it makes me furious#why should i kill myself just to survive huh. why should i. why should any of us.#we all deserve to fuckin. idk enjoy sunsets and good food and art and each others' company.#instead everyone's stressing themselves to death over making rent and getting groceries and paying bills. fuck.#id love to be able to create art that Sells and open a shop or something#but also the thought of creating purposefully marketable art purely to make money fucking kills me inside#comms are one thing but... just... sighing sighing sighing. man idk#i just dont know. ill deal but everytime i manage to think positively reality comes in with a sledgehammer and now i want to go back to bed#the point is to live BUT YA CANT FUCKIN LIVE BC POINTLESS STUFF REIGNS SUPREME. WHO'S GONNA COMMIT ARSON W ME CMON LETS GO#this stupid fucking country and this stupid fucking government. i hate it here

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.
#dear oh well you just shut the fuck up about it already anon#yes when Dami apologizes for repeatedly using the n-word#it’s called the bare motherfucking minimum#maneskin#måneskin#må

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.
#Fic where Kakashi is left to take care of Naruto but instead of treating him better than he was I'm og Kakashi just neglects him#He's 14 and he just lost like everything and the loss of the last two things he had left was basically Narutos fault if you think about it#But see Naruto is a little baby and he loves Kakashi so it's just Narutos undying affection and Kakashi doing the bare minimum#He waves colourful things in front of narutos face for a few minutes then just dips for a few weeks#Left a ryo behind but kakashi is an idiot and left all of his money out which is a lot cause he never really buys anything for himself#Or Naruto#So Naruto takes like all of it for food but then gets robbed by assholes on the street bc of course he does#Kakashi then has to kill some people to get his money back. Ugh!#Kakashis not really even angry at things anymore he's just tired and depressed and that makes Naruto feel even worse#At some point when Naruto is ten he pulls like this massive massive prank to get Kakashis attention#And it's the first time kakashi has felt emotions in forever meaning he got super fucking pissed off#But then after realising he emoted he was like “:0” and then he was in a good mood so he hit naruto over the head#Then they ate some ice-cream together#It starts of really really toxic and horrible and ends toxic and co-dependent#But you don't but you don't notice because it's so much of a better situation than we started at#Naruto#naruto shippuden#naruto uzumaki#Kakashi hatake#And yes#Kakashi does in fact get a hug#He just doesn't want it#kakashi sensei#Theyre probably fine by the time Naruto comes back to konoha w/ Jiriya#Moldy-flowers

Found the guide written by that person who recently made that big post about how they would dm people advice on raising meat rabbits in light of food contamination and. Well.
#not against raising animals for meat but i dont think we should be encouraging people to build fucking#mini factory farms in their homes#also this is straight up not true like yes rabbits are okay living alone but they are social animals and more importantly#they need exercise they are very active critters#and yes high-quality pellets generally meet their nutritional requirements it isnt good for their teeth#rabbits chew in circular motions to help grind their teeth down and feeding them exclusively pellets can cause them to stop doing that#they also claim exotic pet vets are expensive/inacessible and granted idk what its like in the usa but vets here only charge like $150-$200#like sorry but just because an animal can survive well enough with a bare minimum quality of life doesnt mean you should be doing that

clove mocking a 12 year old's death is obv sus but like... you would not believe the shitty things teenage girls can say sometimes when we're not thinking about how it hurts people lol
#thinking about how canonically there has never been a career that intentionally pursued/hunted down/terrorized a 12 year old#like the bloodbath is very quick and the kids die quickly#the 74th careers were intentional about hunting down peeta and katniss aka kids their own damn size who could theoretically fight them#(yes katniss is a malnourished D12 kid but like in terms of age there's less of a power imbalance)#plus as far as I remember in tbosas coral and tanner and the others didn't go after the lil ones on purpose#and coral could've easily chosen to fuck up mizzen but snow specifically pointed out how she didnt#its the bare minimum of human decency but literally in the hunger games there are very very few choices to show someone decency so.

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
#i could go on for HOURS about how social media is one of the main driving forces of the exotic pet trade#i was talking about asian short clawed otters yesterday and telling people about how all those otters they see in 'otter cafes' online#do not have access to the resources they need like constant access to water (to swim) and a proper diet and specialised vet care#and these teenagers were like o.o oh okay...#and then they were like what about capybara cafes#and i was like well. capybaras are adorable but they also need a lot of space AND constant access to swimming water#so unless the cafes also have a big paddock and water for the capybaras...#and they were like “oh... probably not!”#and like YES EXACTLY NOW YOU SEE IT#now you realise that animal spaces need to be made with the natural behaviours and needs of the animals taken into consideration#as a bare minimum#this is not to mention that constant interaction with humans is also not healthy and goes against conservation values#ANYWAY#enough rambling#fuck those online animal 'rescues' that show off their wild animals like pets#and FUCK animal cafes

if i have to see one more post about disney from people who don't work here or at least live in the area i'm gonna lose it
#saw a post that was talking about how disney doesn't actually care about queer people#and while like. yeah. i mean. i guess sorta that's true? but also they do pay for trans healthcare#for employees. btw. no other employer i've ever had has explicitly covered that in my insurance#also working here has EASILY been the job where i feel the most comfortable being trans since i came out#and where i get misgendered the least. it still happens and it's been an issue but like#overall it's better here. disney also lets me use my preferred name on everything#universal did not do that btw at universal i was forced to display my deadname to everyone at my location#so it's not as black and white as 'disney hates queer people' and i'm not trying to be a bootlicker i'm just stating these facts#that people probably don't know? at least people don't seem to know this?#but it's easily the most supportive work environment i've ever been in#and yeah a LOT of that depends on location and leadership and other things. i have trans coworkers who have struggled more than i have#but like. overall. i don't think people realize that it's actually a pretty halfway decent place to work#and yeah there's some HUGE issues but it's an oversimplification to say that it's just The worst and should be burned down etc.#and it's like yeah i KNOW it's the bare minimum but it's still more than i've gotten anywhere else i've worked#and yes a lot of it is also due to the union's hard work here and not the company itself but still#the fact that the people making posts like that clearly do not actually live here or know anything about how things work here#i'm just like. please shut up you don't even know what you're talking about#this post i saw earlier had people in the replies STILL spouting the 'disney will just pack up and leave lol and then where will the florid#economy be?' and they sound so fucking stupid like what the everloving fuck do you mean move somewhere else#people think it's a little theme park as if it's not the literal size of san francisco???#anyway i'm just in general begging people online to shut up about things they don't know shit about.#like. you don't have to have an opinion on everything. you can just. shut up.#anyway that's my ranty tags post for the day bye#win rambles

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
#sorry but at this point im really exhausted of like. bare minimum praise for men fjfjf#‘’groundbreaking!!! this man babysits his children sometimes!!!!!’’#and then the moms get zero praise bc they should feel worthy they get to have kids at all#actually this scene with future events in mind accidentally makes fern look… really bad actually#cause like ivypool is explicitly uncomfortable with having kittens in this scene and fern convinces her to change her mind bc he’ll move in#to the nursery instead of her……. but then he doesnt fucking do that#avos liveread#which is an accident yes! im aware its not what the writers intended. but in meta he accidentally seems scummy#cause it reads like he made a false promise to get ivy to have kids and then was hands off

Should I end my tolerance break tonight or should I continue and see how long this can go on for
#full disclosure it’s only been two days#i’ll be honest kitten; daddy might have a fucking problem#look it’s not even… weed is not addictive. obviously#BUT i am not in the greatest mental state right now. i am not exactly a shining example of perfect mental health#i’m a 28 year old loser who peaked in undergrad and is a self employed freelancer BUT is too lazy to make decent money freelancing#i really need a manager breathing down my neck to get me to do the bare minimum or more consistently#i’m also super not doing well regarding 1) my dad’s deathiversary 2) my ongoing grief over mabel (yes she was a dog but if you say she was#‘just a dog’ i will come to your house and throw up in your walls DON’T DO IT. DON’T TRY IT. I LOVED HER)#and also just. the crushing weight of it all.#if i have edibles i don’t have to think about the fact i thought i’d either be dead or successful by now and instead i’m alive and mediocre#am i really supposed to freeball THIS reality. THIS ONE???#but then it’s like it creates a vicious cycle because is the weed making me unproductive or do i want the weed BECAUSE i’m unproductive#and it helps me forget that i’m a complete and utter loser. 🧐#listen i’ve gotten less done during this tolerance break than i did last week when i pretty much had a weed gummy every night#i’m not saying there’s a correlation but what i AM saying is it’s suspicious#i could continue the break until the weekend. that seems like the best plan#personal

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.
#and the reblogs on this post? most of them have tags with comments#and most of those comments are along the lines of 'omg same' or 'yes! this!'#I WOULD KILL FOR BARE MINIMUM INTERACTION LIKE THAT ON MY FICS#BUT NO#we have to cry and beg and scrape at readers feet to get the bare minimum#it's fucking embarassing that that's asking 'too much'
