bloodrnage:

y’all go on for days about slytherin/hufflepuff relationships but slytherin/ravenclaw?

  • slytherins and ravenclaws getting in long winded debates about stupid shit because no, jerry, it’s not more efficient to stuff all the chicken nuggets in your mouth at once. 
  • they shit talk literally everyone. nothing brings people together like mutual hatred
  • lets be real both houses are practically information brokers in their own rights. if you dont think they’d have each other’s backs 24/7 youre wrong.
  • in continuation to the last bulletin, ravenclaws helping their snake friends on tests while slytherins warn their nerd friends about shitty people or rumours that are going around about them
  • insult-based friendships. “jerry you fucking idiot.” “shut up tom you love me.” “yeah but that’s not the point.”
  • stern ravenclaws that keep their snakes at bay and remind them that revenge is a futile human coping mechanism that has no real emotional benefits and often results in stronger negative emotions than the situation that required revenge
  • slytherins that help their raven friends not be complete pushovers or give into bullying, and give them what they need to stand up for themselves even on a small scale.
  • so much sarcasm you guys

Ravenclaws that go through existential crises every other week because of things they’re reading though

  • like “WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE HAVE POTIONS HOMEWORK? I’M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER OTHER MEANS OF TORTURE ARE ACTUALLY MORE ETHICAL THAN THE CRUCIATUS AND IF NOT THEN WHY ARE THEY LEGAL”
  • or “I AM CALLING OFF QUIDDITCH PRACTICE TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHY QUIDDITCH IS DIVIDED BY HOUSES”
  • or “I CAN’T GO TO RUNES BECAUSE I AM TOO UPSET ABOUT WITCH HUNTS IN THE MIDDLE AGES; IMAGINE WHAT THAT WOULD BE LIKE JUST IMAGINE IT”
  • or “BUT WHY IS OUR CURRENCY SO ILLOGICAL CAN’T WE FIX IT”
  • or “HOW DOES MAGIC GET PASSED DOWN BUT THEN ALSO APPEAR AT RANDOM NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN IT IS IT IN OUR BODIES OR IN OUR MINDS OR WHAT” (just calm down and come to transfiguration okay) “I WILL NOT CALM DOWN AND I WILL NOT COME TO TRANSFIGURATION”
  • “IF YOU VANISH A THING AND CONJURE IT AGAIN IS IT THE SAME MATTER” “IS IT THE SAME ESSENCE” (it’s okay. just vanish the pincushion) “IT’S NOT OKAY”

Why is it always “Dumbledore is my fave” or “Dumbledore is abusive” and never “Dumbledore is so fucking afraid of letting another dark wizard come to power that he channels his own darkness into training a human weapon from childhood to fight the darkness that he knows he can’t while pretending to be the wise wizard mentor that he wishes he actually was wow that is a super fascinating character and we should write all the fanfiction about it?”

Oh man, it is time for some HARRY POTTER OPINIONS here on this blog (also: the first time I accidentally typed “Happy Potter opinions,” and let’s all just take a moment to think about what a different series that would have been). As always, take these with several grains of salt, both because all Harry Potter opinions had by anyone are just fiction-based thoughts spiraling into the void, and, of course, because the Harry Potter series at large is narrated by a very damaged young child who, let us all recall, one time spends an entire book YELLING ALL HIS FEELINGS, and can’t remember the names of most of his non-Gryffindor classmates, and though skilled at fighting evil is at one point brought to desperate confusion when a girl he has invited to a dance becomes annoyed when he completely ignores her therein. Harry Potter is many things, but a reliable narrator is not one of them.

HAVING SAID THAT, let us discuss Albus Dumbledore, Professional Puppetmaster. Let us discuss him in bullet points (and beneath a cut, because JESUS CHRIST, this got really long).
