Gotta Love The Implication From The Marauders Fans - If You're An Ugly, White, Poor Kid - You Deserve

Who feels more morally grey to you or a worse person: Snape or Sirius?

I don’t think there’s such a thing as being more or less grey. A character is either grey or they’re not, because when a character is established as grey, it’s done in accordance with their context and their morally conflicting actions, which can be very diverse. The narrative doesn’t treat Sirius as a grey character, but rather as a good character who has made mistakes, which is very different from Severus, who is treated as a highly ambiguous and questionable character.

The fact that we’re rational enough to see that, despite Rowling’s efforts to whitewash him, Sirius was far from being a good person because he was a bit of a jerk is another matter. The point is that their contradictions and dissonances are very different. Sirius has grey aspects because, despite his good intentions and his positive portrayal, he has a very violent attitude, has actively been a bully out of sheer boredom, has been a mediocre friend to everyone except James, preaches a set of ideals that he doesn’t practice, and holds prejudices strongly rooted in his social class. He’s a hypocrite, honestly.

Severus is a grey character because he has a terrible personality and a shady past, but despite that, he always chooses to serve a good cause even if he doesn’t want or receive recognition for it, all while having a rather difficult and complicated attitude to understand. Each of them is grey in their own way. Neither of them was genuinely a bad person deep down, but neither were they good, and each for different reasons.

merlin is the best tv show ever bc every episode arthur is like “oh that’s my attention seeking whore, merlin. what is it now, dumbass?” meanwhile the merlin and morgana subplot:

unparalleled

Okay y’all, some ‘Why The Plumbers Ain’t Shit’ in a nice, easy to understand list

11-yo gets thrown into maximum security adult prison (’but achi he is Powerful’ and power limiters are fucking canon and shown to be able to render even him managable)

14-yo is not only accepted into the Academy but becomes a full fledged Plumber (hello child labor)

In fact multiple underage teens are accepted into the Academy and become full fledged Plumbers

Magister comes to Earth to investigate allegations of vigilantism, finds trio of teenagers fighting off invasion, makes no move to help them with it (which is, if later episodes involving invasions are accurate, his job) beyond deputizing them and fucking off

Man actively tells his grandchildren to recruit other children to fight off an invasion rather than get in touch with other Plumbers even within their family and soon ends up running the system (nope, that’s not a sign of bullshit, when someone recruits children for war over involving other adults and is rewarded for it)

Man is fired from Plumbers? Entire family can no longer turn to law enforcement when needed

Plumber steals from Plumbers? Fire him. Investigate no further, not even to find the stolen items.

Plumber official walks into base, admits to performing illegal experiments on children and making them into child soldiers using Plumber funding in front of God and everyone? Do nothing until his victims wreck his entire shit

Plumber official has gotten his entire shit wrecked by the victims of his slavery and illegal experiments? Sentence his entire team to life imprisonment in hellscape dimension with no trial, no judge, take all evidence, never speak of matter again

Teenager sacrifices his sanity saving the galaxy, becomes dangerously violent? Have his younger bestfriend murder him, insist it’s the only option

Department of Inhuman Resources

Insta-portals to the hellscape dimension are standard enough issue that nobody questions implanted memories or reports of them being used on criminals without an arrest

This despite it being shown that the hellscape dimension is a deathtrap that can kill you quickly and that entrance does not alert anyone to come looking

Law enforcement agency with no known governmental oversight and their own Black Ops group

And that’s off the top of my head. If you think of anything else, please feel free to add.
