So Cool!

Reblog to remember this. This is awesome. So many memories.

it is pretty annoying how the fandom erases shaggys flaws to make him into a uwu precious scoobie snack babie…like hes a coward that when push comes to shove isnt there to help out his friends lmao

I hope no gets hurt anymore, and that people stay on their guards. People shouldn't have to be scared, so maybe this will help protect everyone if they are warned of this sophie,

Please. Please please please read this and reblog!

If you support LGBTQ Rights you need to stop scrolling and read this. This is not a fucking joke.

If you cant read this, here it is: 

If you don’t remember Sophie M Herold, she is a German girl, who is extremely homophobic and transphobic. She has found out LGBTQ persons names, addresses, personal info etc. And set up her own database. Her intentions with this are harmful.

She is sending out this information, your information, your best friends information, someone you love and care about. She’s sending it to hate groups, malicious people, people with bad intentions. And if you think I’m blowing this out of proportion, people have been kicked out of homes, disowned by families and even MURDERED. Yes, murdered. Innocent people who have done nothing but love. She has had numerous blogs and each have been removed. Tumblr staff are aware of her, and as far as I’m aware she currently doesn’t have a blog, but this does not mean she isn’t still on peoples tumblrs, asking via anon where you live, what your name is. An email I received today. She’s sending out information of same sex couples with children so the children can be kidnapped. She entitled it “Time to strike back”. If that doesn’t suggest harmful intentions I don’t know what does. Please be extremely careful what you post on tumblr, on twitter, facebook, anywhere. Do NOT give out your full name or your address, or even the town in which you live. Look out for one another, and don’t answer any suspicious anons. Especially if they use your name in quotation marks. Sophie M Herold is still out there, she always will be, so please spead this message and warn people. She’s attacking in silence. We don’t need more people dying because of her actions. ======== This disgusting excuse of a human being of needs to stop, but the only way it can be stopped is if you spread this! Please, be aware of any suspicious people or anons asking for personal information. It can get you or your loved ones in SERIOUS DANGER. Thank you.

The idea of Squibs and the treatment of them in Harry Potter Wizarding World has always interested/sadden me. To treated so poorly by everyone yet never fit in with neither Muggles (because they can see things Muggles cannot and likely know about magic but cannot talk to anyone about and have to lie to everyone) or wizards (who shun & mistreated). Even if a squib in that world studied all the books and knowledge about magical theory and stuff that doesn’t actually require spell casting, even if they would do better at all the tests that their wizard/witch peers do, since squibs cannot cast their opinions and insights are shunned... I really want to play in a Harry Potter tabletop roleplaying game as a Squib for this reason or maybe run one. It’s just so heartbreaking and fascinating to have character like a squib there but it’s so odd that Squibs never get much attention nor development in any canon works. The recent release of Fantastic Beasts hammers down the Squib situation more with implied opinions and behaviour the wizarding world has towards Squibs in that universe. 

It bothered me that there were no Squibs allowed in Hogwarts. Fine, I can get that Squibs would not be able to do any wand magic, and would not be able to fly a broomstick. They still apparently possess enough innate magic to see the school and other magically hidden locations. Out of the classes at Hogwarts that the kids take, a Squib could take and benefit from the following classes: History of Magic, Astronomy, Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, MUGGLE STUDIES, Potions (there will be little foolish wand-waving here), Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, and partially theoretical classes on Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms.

That’s a long list of classes. And some of them are particularly upsetting to me because there’s stuff like History of Magic being left out- that’s their own history they’re being barred from learning. Since Squibs are often forced into the Muggle world, a Squib would make an ideal Muggle Studies teacher and would no doubt be able to teach a more realistic and informative class than someone going off of biased wizarding texts. Squib kids looking into living in the Muggle world would absolutely benefit from learning Muggle studies, especially if they’re from a mainly pureblood family who doesn’t venture out all too often.

And then there’s the rest of them! Arguably you could have a Squib gifted with prescience, and Divination is supposed to be a very accessible branch of magic. Squibs being excellent at taking care of magical plants and animals and making groundbreaking advancements, Squibs working in tandem with each other to breed different magical herbs for potions, Squib potion masters creating all sorts of amazing concoctions. Squibs working with muggleborns and using logic and science to advance magic theoretically, Squibs being huge pro-muggleborn/pro-muggle advocates, Squibs making star charts and Squibs going into the muggle world to use their healing potions in their jobs as nurses and doctors.

Squibs being so completely shut out of magical education was such a sore point for me in the books, especially viewing the treatment of our only prominent Squib- an angry, bitter, glorified janitor often at the mercy of brats with wands. I’m not justifying or endorsing his abusiveness at all, but this was an awful character to use to explore people without magic in a society that bases your worth on it. A lot of time Rowling seems to validate Wizarding prejudices more than she challenges them. While I really enjoy reading the headcanons about Hogwarts being very accessible to people with disabilities, I can’t bring myself to see that as the case with Squibs being treated as they are. 

Korra is awesome 👏 Positivity!! 😀

Tired of seeing negative shit about her. This is an Avatar Korra appreciation post. Reblog this if you love and appreciate Korra. 

Agreed

These baby hippos will make everything better

Video games have helped through a lot. I'm a bit of a dreamer so when the world constantly doesn't match up to my over optimistic expectations,  I can get quite negative and overthink things.

There was a time in my life where I saw a flight of stairs and the thought falling down and breaking my neck didn't faze me. I literally felt nothing, even when I tried. I was numb and the closest reason for not seeing what might happen was the chance I might get in someone's way. My opinion of myself was that apathetic. Video games help me over come this by allowing me to get out of my own head. To escape my own thoughts so I could learn to actually care about living not merely existing because killing myself seemed like it might be inconvenient for others.

I knew it was bad for me to think such a way,  but I couldn't stop the negative thoughts crawling into my head. But thanks to video games and the stories they conveyed. This allow me to stop thinking I'm not good enough, and it stopped me from believing don't deserve the life I have while others suffer.

Video games allow me to stop focusing on all the negatives and see the positives in life. The Persona series also taught me that no one can survive alone, and the reason I felt the way I did was because I bottled everything inside myself until I reached breaking point. I didn't talk to people, because I didn't want to annoyed them, but that was wrong of me to do.

In summary, video games like Fire Emblem, Persona and Dragon Age taught me that some form of friendship is necessary for survival. I might not have friends yet, but I'm actually looking now. So it's quite an improvement.

Sorry for writing so much. I hope this helps.

PLEASE REBLOG IF VIDEO GAMES HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON YOU

This is for an English paper I need to write.
