“heightened senses” as a superpower is bullshit bc that exists already irl, its not a scifi thing? its called autism

a new xmen animated series, each episode is titled things like “Lights Are My Enemy”, “regular ordinary chicken dissection,” and “i can’t be within five feet of a yankee candle store without crying”

headcanon that since the slytherin common room is under the lake there’s a room where the walls and ceiling are glass and you can just see into the lake like an aquarium

headcanon that when this was first done the mermaids got really aggressive and hateful about it and started ramming the glass but since it was magic this just caused them injuries

until a deaf/hoh slytherin started to teach them sign language and it took a long time bit by the time they left hogwarts they and the rest of the house were communicating with the mermaids and on good terms

eventually it becomes a part of slytherin house culture you’re a slytherin you know sign language because if you don’t chat with the mermaids they get grumpy

this helps a lot of deaf/hoh students

this also gives slytherin the best grades of any house on all aquatic magical studies

the mermaids give terrible dating advice do not trust them

The most common mermaid dating advice, of course, being “Drown him”

Consider the claim, “There are no leafy greens that are good in salads.” We can refute this claim by presenting arugula.

Consider the class of claims that cannot be refuted by presenting arugula. We will term these claims unarugulable.

Consider the term “unarguably”. It may initially seem like this term is empty of meaning, since we can argue with just about anything, e.g., “Well, I say the Sun *did* crash into the Earth yesterday.” But what about arugula? You can’t argue with arugula. It’s just a plant. Thus, arugula is unarguable.

We can furthermore demonstrate the above fact by presenting arugula – “See? It’s right here! You can’t argue against it, it’s not a claim!” Thus arugula is arugulably unarguable.

If the claim that something is arugulable is itself arugulable, then, following the terminological rule for designating similar philosophical concepts such as superdupervenience, we shall say it is arugulabugulable. Conversely, everything not in this class is unarugulabugulable.

Now say THAT three times fast. Out loud. Make sure to record it for the rest of us. 

i hate arugula.
