Listen, For People Wanting To Call Out Colonialism, There Are Way Too Many Of You Mocking Irish, Welsh,

Listen, for people wanting to call out colonialism, there are way too many of you mocking Irish, Welsh, and Scottish names.

No, they’re not alphabet soup, no they do not look like “you’ve thrown letters at a wall and used what stuck,” they are living, breathing languages which we did CPR on after the British Empire shot them.

Like, people DIED to keep them alive.

Every time I see some (English/American) interviewer make an entire segment forcing Saoirse Ronan to list off Irish names, I die a little inside. It’s particularly galling to see the same people ooh-ing over how “mystical” they sound, or claiming ancient heritage to us.

Realise there’s a world beyond your myopic lens and just accept sometimes you’ve got new stuff to learn. Fuck knows I do.

James is captured, bored out of his mind. So he starts singing, all the songs he knows. Bowie, Queen, Taylor Swift, all the Disney songs in order of the movies. After that, it all goes downhills. Murmered lyrics, parts of songs, and the worst, mispronounced French songs.

And Regulus is standing guard. Suffering through his fourth hour of guarding this man. And he’s this close to gagging him.

If you would like

Remus and James Brotp?

omg-

i-

i’ve waited for this for so long

hyping each other up all the time

although remus is not a quiddich freak (take example james!) he goes to the pitch and cheers on him all the time

james sometimes does remus’ essays if he doesn’t feel good (mentally or because of the moon). he gets caught almost every time but it’s worth it

do their homework together

weirdos 💖

hold hands sometimes

when james is too caught in stuff (cough cough quiddich cough) he forgets to study and exams come and “oh shit i forgot to study”. remus takes advantage in this and that means? study dates!

since james is one of the kindest persons towards him he has the feeling he has to protect him

and blamed himself for james’ death because he couldn’t protect him

so talk shit about james and say good bye to your life

vice versa too

james does everything with so much enthusiasm and it always brings poor re a smile to his face

you know for sure remus has that type of period in which he still wonders why sirius is with him and “look at him james, and then look at me”

james is not taking this crap

“moony you bastard, you are amazing, smart and even despite everything you went through you’re so kind and that means a hell of a lot“

both are huge simps

remus wanted to get a tattoo for sirius and james came up with the idea (don’t ask me what is it because i didn’t settle on anything)

despite not being a romantic in his own relationship, like sirius, remus gives james advice for his own relationship

and so does james, because sirius is james’ brother and shipping prongsfoot is basically incest but let’s not get into depth and he knows what sirius likes

both are clothes thieves and steal from each other because their clothes pretty much suit each other mostly remus’ suit james

james was so excited to become an animagus

they made the research of the spells for the marauders’ map (sirius did the graphic and peter brought snacks, which is very important mind you)

sometimes they just leave for like,,, two hours,,, and don’t let anyone come with them and no one knows where they’re going (p.s- you’re not gonna know either 👀)

james brings tiny bits of confidence from remus and remus brings back james down on heart when he soars too high

James = Robin

Nancy = Remus

Steve = Peter

Eddie = Sirius

James would be insufferable when he’s injured or sick.

Not because he won’t shut up about it.

But because he wouldn’t let anyone help him, or act like he’s injured.
