Dark Academia

but imagine being in your favorite foreign city, living in a cute, cozy apartment with a lovely view, working at a small bookstore, spending your time at beautiful cofffee shops and libraries, taking long walks, meeting new people that make you feel good, being yourself, finding true love and actually feeling good & fullfilled with your life

Huh, I don’t really think that JK intended to portray Hermione as a white savior, because every rational character in the book dismisses her or shuts her up NOT because she’s trying to speak for elves but just because she’s trying to speak about the problem that exists. And we’re supposed to sympathize with the characters that are annoyed with her. In fact, I have no fucking idea what Rowling was trying to say with this. On one hand, everybody totally makes fun of Hermione for her activism because almost everybody thinks that elves being slaves is okay, and Hermione is just delusional because “elves are a race of servants”, which is sick. On the other hand, Hermione does try and free the elves by force (like wtf?), which fits into the white savior trope, but people who call her out on that are the ones that tell her that elves being slaves is fine. Seriously I can’t fully understand what the fuck Rowling was trying to convey. If she wanted her readers to see Hermione as a “white savior”, why didn’t she give any agency to elves and made them a race that is happy to be slaves and even offended when somebody mentions their possible freedom? I’m sO CONFUSED 

Oh god did JK Rowling R E A L L Y create a fictional race of slaves that actually liked being slaves and - oh my- took it as a personal attack when you tried to tell them about the unfairness of the situation?

Good god.

Okay but let's be honest

The only time I was on the Dursleys' side was at the beginning of the Goblet of Fire just because the Weasleys did not just decide to show up at the muggles' house IN THEIR FIREPLACE but they also BLEW THE WHOLE THING UP and were like: "Hi there very nice to meet you let me mutilate YOUR SON in addition to what has already happened well goodbye farewell kisses and etc."

Imagine being as xenophobic as the Dursleys and this happening to you. Won't you kind of be convinced in your bigotry? Because the FREAKING WIZARDS came with an EXPLOSIOn ruined your LIVING ROOM and also YOUR SON.

Let's forget our love for the Weasleys and our hate for the Dursleys and see who has the power of reason here.

P. S. And then this man starts pacing back and forth in your BLASTED living room and begins to talk to you about PLUGS

actually everything ever is about patpran

every man on this earth should watch daniel sloss’ x right now

I probably should start writing something here, really

i actually deeply despise the notion that only friends isn’t authentically queer simply because 2/3 of the couples ended up together. like aside from the fact that gay people end up happy together all the time, only friends is genuinely one of the shows that captures the queer experience on a level i’ve never seen before. like we joke about sand and the freddie mercury guy trying to make out once they find out they’re both bi but that’s real queer shit!!! nick and sand kissing and then laughing after they realize it did nothing for them is real queer shit!!! keira knightley was an extremely common awakening for bi girls, so having sand and ray talk about her and how pretty she is is real queer shit!!! mew and top moving in together after only a few months is real queer shit!!! boston’s cruising lifestyle is real queer shit!!! boston being as out and proud as he can without letting the general public know is real queer shit!!!! their friend group being entirely queer and so many of them having kissed or dated is real queer shit!!!! this show was crafted with so much deep love and care for the queer community and it pisses me off that so many people seem to forget that because it didn’t meet their expectations.
