i get so pissed off when people accuse harry potter fans of over-criticizing the movies because the directors:
fucked up ronald weasley’s entire character
made hermione perfect because obviously the only way an audience can appreciate a female character is if she has no flaws
destroyed ginny weasley’s personality when she happens to be the main character’s love interest
white-washed most of the main cast when 2/3 of the golden trio could have been people of color
screwed up the MAIN VILLAIN’S DEATH in a way that undermines the entire point of his character
conveniently left out regulus black’s entire storyline and contributed to the problematic idea that being a slytherin and valuing ambition and cunning automatically makes you a dirty evil person
yes, they messed up a lot of little things but they also messed up huge, plot-changing, point-missing, life-killing things so please never tell a harry potter fan that they’re too picky when the directors missed 70% of the big picture
My dad is sitting and doodling in a My Little Pony colouring book with my two-year-old kid. He drew a blue sun, and when she coloured over it with her red crayon, he said, “now it’s a red dwarf and it has killed everyone in its solar system.” She nodded solemnly.
so I heard a rumour it was Remus Lupin’s birthday today so naturally here’s a lil doodle because I have a lot of uni work I should be doing. Remus was so important to me as a kid - he was the first character I ever truly loved and he’s helped me out a lot over the years. So happy 55th birthday Moony - I’ll be drinking to you!
World’s Oldest Woman Just Pleased Every Other Human On Earth When She Was Born Now Dead
"Reflecting on a long life that began at the end of the 19th century, the world’s oldest woman told reporters Monday that she could not be happier that every other human on earth the day she was born is now deceased. “Nothing, not one single thing, gives me more pleasure than knowing anyone who was alive on March 5, 1898—my family, my friends, and even far-off strangers that I never knew existed—is stone-cold dead,” said 116-year-old Misao Okawa, smiling as she observed how all 1.6 billion of the people who were alive the day she came into the world had passed away, one by one, during her remarkable lifespan. “I’m the sole fucking survivor. I’m the longevity queen. I’m the one who stuck it out while everyone else threw themselves on the corpse pile. Man, it’s too bad I’m in a wheelchair or I’d trample every single one of their fucking graves.” Okawa went on to say her only regret is that she probably won’t outlive all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren."
