#dumbledore sucks

[courfee]

the fact that the order could have broken the prophecy the entire time - because harry broke several of the other prophecies that didn't concern him - and yet they didn't, despite dumbledore having absolutely no need for it considering he has heard it first hand, and having access to the department of mysteries. dumbledore could have asked someone to break it the entire time and gotten rid of the risk of voldemort getting it, but instead he risked the lives of all the order members by having them protect it, put harry through psychological trauma (again!) and inevitably caused sirius' death

#hp #Sorry im listening to the 5th book again airius just died and this thought pulled me out of my falling asleep phase #I also still dont get why thr ministry was empty when harry got there it never made sense to me and never will #Harry potter #Dumbledore sucks #Honestly #Like what the fuck was the point of any of this

Frickin Dumbledore

Ok so some groundwork.

Some of my detail-remembering may be off.

There’s not a chance in J K’s world (see what I did there?) that other wizards haven’t been conceived with the influence of love potions (see: rape drugs,) so that is no real reason for Riddle to have become Voldy. Like, I’m sorry, but there are sociopaths contributing to society everywhere. So he can’t love. So what? He still chose to be beastly.

HOWEVER. Riddle did NOT choose all of his beastliness. He was horrified by the idea of returning to the orphanage. BEGGED to stay at Hogwarts. A little countryside orphanage in, what, the 30’s-40’s, where we KNOW kid-to-kid abuse happened, that Riddle the terror was scared to return to? Let’s face it, Tom Riddle was a severely abused child who never got counseling, on top of being a sociopath and who only ever got the comfort/attention he wanted needed out of being abusive to his peers.

But. BUT! Here’s the thing: Professor Dippet (two t’s?) didn’t see all this damage. Idk, maybe the ministry deliberately put idiots in charge at Hogwarts, or maybe he was just less involved. He very likely had no idea why Tom didn’t want to leave over the summer. (Especially, re: my PS on this post, the wizard/muggle cultural divide.)

You know who did know?

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Screw-you-Dumbledore.

He saw it. He knew.

Dumbledore was deputy headmaster; he could have intervened on Tom’s behalf. Could have found a wizarding family or even a less-awful orphanage for him to go to. Could have CONFUNDED A FAMILY INTO BELIEVING HE WAS THEIR SON (ok a stretch but he could’ve.) Could have TAKEN TOM RIDDLE HOME WITH HIM HIMSELF, or SET HIM UP WITH A ROOM IN THE LEAKY CAULDRON, or, basically, done ANYTHING HE WANTED to spare Tom Riddle further abuse.

So why didn’t he?

Ego.

Dumbledore, for all he pretends to recognize his own need for needing “seemly modesty,” is the most egotistical butthead ever. And, in this case, he perpetuated his own abused/witnessing abuse childhood (idk if it’s *exactly* canon but are you suggesting Albus, Aberforth, and Ariana we’re abused? Nvm that’s a different rant.) to hundreds or thousands of kids at Hogwarts.

Kids including Tom Riddle.

Dumbledore refers to Voldy as if he were destined to be evil. As if no one could have prevented it. Some unstoppable tragedy. But—HE could have. Dumbledore. He could have invested in Tom Riddle, preventing the rise of Voldemort and, what, MILLIONS of deaths? He was perfectly poised to do so—he had access. Intelligence. Influence. Funds. But because of his “I-survived-abuse, clever-people-survive” style ego, Dumbledore failed. He FAILED Riddle and, in so doing, all of England.

And you know the worst part? Literally the only thing he learned was to be sneakier. So when a young Mr. Potter was being abused? Dumbledore burrowed deeper into his secrets and lies and kept doing what he had always done.

P. S. My bestie would like me to remember that Tom Riddle was sent back to an orphanage in LONDON during the LONDON BLITZ that poor broken child.

"Hold on a minute here. I'm the headmaster of this school. I am in charge of this competition. I can change the rules if I wish to. So I am." is so Dumbledore coded.

Me writing meta about Tom Riddle: *checks the book 3 times for accuracy, extrapolates based on the text, clearly denotes things that are just headcanons not specifically supported by evidence*

Albus Dumbledore writing meta about Tom Riddle: lol yeah idk his vibes were just always rancid. no i don't need to "cite my sources" wtf???

#Tom Riddle: *breathes* Albus: clearly an irredeemable dark lord in the making. #not to gatekeep the fandom but uh... albus. ur meta skills kinda suck #humor #albus dumbledore #Harry Potter #Tom Riddle #if this is a joke do i need to tag #anti albus dumbledore #? #random musings #my post

[siriusthirdcousin]

everyday that i wake up, i hate dumbledore more and more. “help is at hogwarts for anyone who asks” LIARRRR. not a single student was helped! dumbledore knew draco was getting the mark, knew he was just a kid who didn’t want it, and still did nothing. regulus black died because dumbledore was so bad at caring for the lives of children.

McGonagall: When's the last time you had a vacation?

Dumbledore: Well, yesterday I sneezed into the wind, closed my eyes, and imagined my face was barraged by cool ocean spray...

Okay i know it’s been so long since the movies came out but i cannot express to you how obsessed i am with that one scene in the secrets of dumbledore when him and Grindelwald are fighting and it’s all flashing lights and spells and ahhhhhhh, and then they stop. They stop with their hands on the others chest both with a look in their eye, realising this is THE ONE moment in which they have the opportunity to kill the other, and they both know they need to and this is the only chance they will get, but they just…. can’t. They can’t do it, the realisation in both of them that they are just as in love as they always have been, that denying and running away hasn’t made it stop. They love each other and they always have. That the possibility of living in a world devoid of the other is not an option, that both KNOW people are relying on them and if any of their other members were here they wouldn’t hesitate. But they just can’t do it. The way you can just feel the pure goddamn heartbreak in their eyes is just JFJFJFJJSJDHSHDHHDJFJF anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Honestly if Dumbledore barged into my room, pointed out all the things I'd stolen, and demanded I take them back, I think I'd hate him forever too

#stealing is such a complicated offense calm down Dumbledore #Tom Riddle #listen I know where he was coming from #really I do #but it's easy to imagine yourself in Riddle's POV here #sucks

[nightingale2004]

Things I would change in the world of Harry potter.

(I have a whole list, so buckle up)

First off, I would give more information about the wizarding world itself. We barely see the fashion, traditions, customs, and such (other than the malfoys being fashion icons) I want to see more of it. Know more about it

I feel like the ministry of magic will think they are in charge, but the real ones behind it would be whoever the original pureblood families either appoint or whoever steps up to the title of running things with the ministry. Like whoever the head(s) of whatever pureblood house that was put in charge says goes, and the ministry has to obey.

Definitely try to fit some information on the pureblood families, including the original pureblood families (I know there's only so much information to fit on the books, but the fans can't come up with everything J.k Rowling. WE CAN ONLY CREATE SO MUCH!!!!)

A magical wizard mailman/woman. If the Wizarding world is so worried about their world getting discovered by muggles, then maybe, just maybe....DON'T SEND A BUNCH OF FREAKING OWLS TO MUGGLE OR HALF BLOOD KIDS HOUSES WHERE EVERYONE WHO ISNT A WIZARD CAN SEE THEM!!

Having this mailman/woman explain what's happening to those who have no idea WHAT THE FRICK IS HAPPENING. AND WHY THERE CHILD IS LIKE THIS.

Glamour being created or some kind of mist similar to Percy jackson so that way whenever magic is being used in public. Normal muggles would see something different instead of magic being used or blasted out in the open

More history on magic and wizards and how they made their world.

More magical sports. We can't have just quidditch canwe?

Wands as just a way to control untrained children magic because, according to sources. Wizard and witch Magic as children is unpredictable and dangerous, so I'm thinking that wands would just be a way for children to focus and train their magic until they are ready to use wandless magic.

More information on the countless wizard schools around the world (why couldn't j.k Rowling pull a Rick Riordan and have people from different countries and states write their Wizarding schools so that way no one would be offended and they would be represented correctly)

Wizarding schools teaching children wandless magic. This class would be a must because as soon as these wizards lose their wand. It's games over if they don't get it back quickly, so yeah, this class IS a MUST!!!

Magic defense classes. And I'm not talking about defense against dark arts and spells and such. No, I'm talking about actual fighting hand to hand magic classes. Kind of like Dr. Strange. Cause these kids can not rely on their wands and a bunch of non magic punches in the face to save them. Teach them some basic hand to hand combat with and without magic, especially if their thinking about taking on an adventurous line of work with dangers on the way.

A fair Wizarding government that selects fair headmasters (Dumbledore should've never been headmaster given his track record, let's be honest)

A minor wizarding jail for small crimes like jaywalking and such and Azkaban being a last resort for the absolute worst crimes that anyone can commit.

Dementors are a bit on the extreme side, and they betrayed the wizarding world and killed (I think) a bunch of people who were ACTUALLY INNOCENT AND WENT TO THE DARK SIDE.

Different types of magic. And no, I'm not talking about potions, herbology, and defense against the dark arts. No, I'm talking about during the course of your education at whatever Wizarding school you go to, you find out what magic you have. Like mystic arts, rune magic, weapon magic, dark magic, chain magic, elemental magic, etc. That type of magic, and when you find out what magic you have, then you get to unlock a multitude of classes to help you master this type of magic and sharpen and strengthen your skills. (I'm feeling this, along with wandless classes, are a 3rd or 4th year thing)

Wizard money. Make it make sense.

Dark forbidden magic consequences. (Allow me to elaborate). So we saw what happened to Voldemort when one goes to the extreme for power and resorts to dark forbidden magic. But what about his followers? I think there should be a mark for those who start using forbidden magic that even glamor can't hide

I would legit want to see how people with disabilities would take on this world like blind or deaf, etc.

Technology. Get with the Times wizard world. Get with the times.

The Wizarding world needs to know more about the no-maj world. They are accepting half-bloods and muggles into their world. They have to know what's going on instead of hiding from them 24/7

More career paths that are similar to what we muggles have in the real world

Secret ministry of magic combat groups. The normal government has them. Why can't they? (they take care of dark forces outside the laws of the minstry)

Should witch hunters be a thing? Idk, just a thought

Wizarding schools actually being PREPARED FOR WEREWOLF CHILDREN TO ENTER THEIR SCHOOLS!!!!

The tr-wizard tournament not being so extreme. These are children in school, not adults people.

I want to know if there's a school that only accepted muggles and half-bloods. It's a must and I know there's one out there.

The Wizarding world using muggle things to make their life easier instead of using magic all the time.

Magic aura and energy acting as a shield.

More sources of transportation around the wizarding society.

Vampires. I want to know how they would be depicted (my best guess is that they would be aristocrats, but their magic is less powerful than wizards and witches)

I think that's everything. I will make a pt.2 if I have more.

Hope you enjoy

And in a blinding moment of clarity, with his sister lying dead and his brother sobbing over her frail body, Albus lost all sense of love he had ever held for the other man. With the shovel he had used to dig up what was left of the youngest Peverell, he now caved another hole deep, deep into the chest of his lover. Until he, too, lay there, bones over bones, blood as deep red as the letters in the book in his now cold hands. And when Albus turned the stone over his remains, Gellert’s ghost appeared, laughing and laughing and laughing, until in a flash that shook the layers the world was made of and rippled the folds of the universe Albus got dragged away from all the people that once loved him.

a glimpse into the worldbuilding of the fic i'm writing. this isn't part of the fic (at least i don't think it will be) this genuinely only exists because i apparently can only think when i'm writing, but it was fun so here goes

#yeah man i just wrote 1.2k words of dumbledore and grindelwald existing #just so i could somehow figure out how death functions #which was fun cause that was how i came up with my slightly alternative deathly hallows #i hadnt considered them at all until i was literally writing about them #idk how people brainstorm in just like bullet points and stuff i wish i could do that #how do yall plan out stories #hp #fic: krabat au #man i really need a title for this but i fuckin suck at titles

[tentaclecats]

my mother just asked me what a godparent was (supposedly intending to talk about where my siblings and i would go should she die) and i just immediately launched into a rant about sirius black😭 im sorry mother im not but A GODPARENT IS SOMEONE WHO LEGALLY GETS CUSTODY OF THE CHILD SHOULD THE PARENTS DIE. SIRIUS COULDVE LEGALLY RAISED HARRY IF PETER AND DUMBLEDOR WERENT ASSHOLES. THERE WASNT EVEN GONNA BE ANY CUSTODY BATTLES. THEY DESERVED HAPPINESS SHUT UP.
