Harry’s glorification of Sirius in the books completely irks me, I’m sorry.
Like I know his misunderstanding of Snape is completely 10000% Snape’s own fault okay but like. To have someone who does so much more for Harry than Sirius ever does have his motives hidden most of the narrative and for there to be no closure there is soooo frustrating to me. Like even after finding out Sirius is an asshole to Kreacher and a bully to Snape he just overlooks it completely and Snape is the devil even after Harry finds out he went to look for Harry and tried to save Sirius!
It’s understandable considering his upbringing but it’s maddening to me because NO ONE understands or listens to Snape AT ALL and I hate it

So..I did a thing…looks better in picture than in real life
(Was trying to reblog this from @squibstress’s reblog but tumblr’s not letting me reblog. So I’m trying it this way.)
Poor Mother finding her husband like this. RIP Canon Dad. (Yeesh this has ruined my happy morning but I adore it all the same)
What do people mean you get “a type”? I certainly don’t…
Okay I’m gonna rant for a second about something I love and that thing I love is Mortal Engines
It absolutely flopped at the box office and I always see people complaining about how the premise (the traction cities) doesn’t make sense, etc. etc. and first off, yeah, the movie doesn’t explain it as well as the books do, that’s fair, but SERIOUSLY? People are willing to suspend belief for all the shit that Marvel and DC do (plus every other superhero movie ever) and enjoy those films, among countless others that have outlandish concepts with little to no explanation, but for some reason people just. Refuse to suspend belief for Mortal Engines long enough to appreciate it.
Because there is so fucking much to appreciate! The world-building is incredible, obviously (even more so in the books). But the themes. Mortal Engines is a fucking commentary on imperialism and colonialism and I don’t understand how people don’t see that?? They don’t see London, a city dominated by a wealthy white elite, literally devouring lower-class cities and not see that? They don’t see London attacking Shan Guo, an alliance of predominantly people of color, and see that? They don’t see Valentine blaming Shan Guo for London not having enough resources and see how it’s a deliberate depiction of racism and scapegoating by a colonial power?
All of these things are visible in the movie. It’s even more apparent in the books (go read the books), but seriously, there is enough of it in the movie to be easily recognizable and it just blows my mind that people fixate so much on how the concept is unrealistic instead of recognizing what an incredible metaphor Reeve built in his tetralogy.
Don’t get me wrong, the movie has plenty of flaws, including lots of changes from the book that I strongly disagree with! But I just wish people would move past their refusal to suspend disbelief long enough to recognize that there’s a lot of really good stuff happening in that film.
Imagine how differently the fandom would react to Snape’s Worst Memory if his and Lily‘s positions were reversed. Everyone would vilify him if his lips twitched as if to smile when Lily’s bare legs were exposed or if Sev had been the one to say, “Leave her alone,” but had a full convo with Mulciber (our James Potter stand in) instead of using his wand against whoever had strung her upside down in the air. But those are things Lily does and she’s the fandom angel. Is it gender bias? Sexism? The double standards are gross.
(How does it end? Snape goes on to marry “Mulciber“ and they become soul mate goals in the HP fandom?)
That’s our polite darling boy! He just wants to know what’s happening.
He waves politely....
Anyone want to come to Button House with me to love and protect Humphrey with me? Our boy needs all the care and love in the world 💜
