“cory booker is not actually accomplishing anything” I need you to stop being a pessimistic hag every second of ur life. u can be disillusioned. u can wish there was more done already. but this is SOMETHING!! he has broken the longest senate speech record and has been standing up for americans (and against a fascist racist oligarchy) for over 25 hours straight. hundreds of millions have and are watching him. HE is the news cycle. he is reading democratic and republican testimonies alike. people are hearing him, whether they chose to or are forced to!!!!!!! will it solve all our problems? no. but it is a Spark that will hopefully catch flame

tommyinnit r u hiring editors cause im a stan and i would love u be an underpaid worker at the innit corp. sweat shop

Literally the entire situation summed up for people waking up to this bullshit

Tommy: Dream you need help, please stop calling people slurs, you're a disappointment but I really hope you grow up and understand why you're acting this way and change for the better.

Dream: Um actually Tommy attacked me, here's me flipping this on him for 9 minutes, here's cropped screenshots of how he abused his editors, see I'm not being abusive I'm proud of what he's done despite his huge fucking ego. *Literal textbook manipulation and deflection attempting to get Tommy to submit to Dream under the intensity of the situation btw

Tommy's editors: Hey he didn't do that to us, you're lying. Stop being weird

Dream, but on Reddit now: No they're right here's other proof about Tommy and his friends abusing their editors

More editors: No. Fuck you here's the full context. Stop being weird and stop lying

Dream on reddit again: Also I would never call women whores. Ludwig has it wrong, he's incorrect and being disingenuous about the 5 pages of information I sent him about a woman I called a whore, while he was talking about a different woman I called a whore

It’s so funny to imagine Wicked from the perspective of one of the normal students at Shiz. There’s this girl and she’s weird and an overachieving nerd and no one likes her, but then the popular girl becomes best friends with her overnight so you guess she’s chill now. They might be sleeping together but no one’s really sure. They’re also low key dating the same guy but you’re not clear on if it’s a polycule situation or a love triangle. Whatever. You’re just trying to study for finals. Your history teacher gets arrested and no explains why. You just hope this won’t effect your grade in the class. The weird nerdy girl gets a letter from the president inviting her to come see him. Wow, that’s exciting. She and her maybe-girlfriend go off to the capitol and you go back to homework and dorm room parties. One day later one of your professors is on the national radio saying that the weird nerdy girl, who used to be her favorite student, is now a terrorist, has stolen the nuclear codes, and is on the run from the government. You are still expected to show up to class tomorrow.

Probably one of the best things for me in that episode was the final card pull. Cause anyone who knows anything about tarot probably knows the death card does not actually represent death literally. It represents something coming to the end, yes, but it also represents new beginnings and moving forward. It is overall a positive card to draw upright, representing growth, transformation, and change, rather than stagnation.

And so, they don't show us Lilia's death.

Instead, we see how Lilia changes, realizing how much she cares about the coven and how much she loves being a witch, realising that these powers are a gift no matter how unruly. We see her finally accepting her fate. And they show us the new beginning, back in that garden it all started in, as she sits down with her teacher at that table, and she says

"Let's begin again."

so youre telling me. theres an adaptation of orpheus and eurydice. where eurydice was falling out of love with orpheus before her death but didnt know how to tell him, and when he walks into the underworld to get her back, shes forced to confess that she planned to leave him?? and shes the one to ask him to look back, but he doesn’t want to, because he knows she isn’t coming with him??? youre telling me that when he finally looks back, he does lose her, but only because he’s letting go??? you’re telling me its about grief? about drifting apart?? about moving on??? about love, and how its messy, and how sometimes it just doesn’t work out even if you go to hell and back for it, because we’re human and thats our tragedy????

you’re telling me netflix CANCELLED it?

[hativy]

Omg Agatha realized Teen wasn't Nickolas but instead Billy because he could say that name, the sigil wasn't hiding that name like Agatha thought. Instead, it had to be hiding Wandas son

The original percy jackson series is about cycles of abuse and neglect, right. Were introduced to percy as a kid who has clearly been left behind by a school system that has given up on him, restless and unengaged and self-defetist because hes been given nothing that works for him and no one even tries to meet him where he is. Then hes told no, listen, your neurodivergence is amazing and you just need to be given something that actually utilizes your unique palatte. And thats obviously the uplifting idea rick wanted for his kids, right. But once we get to know chb the same cycles are happening there too. There are kids "left behind" there too for one reason or another, because their parents dont want to claim them, because their parents werent important enough to get a cabin. Do you get it, all the kids who dont fit the most common neurotypes get shoved into the same closet. Kids are being left in a cruel world to fend for themselves without the tools they need. Theyre dying because no one bothered to accommodate them. Its such an obvious parallel that the first chapter introduces a teacher whos written to be especially hard on percys disability and she turns out to literally be one of these monsters trying to kill him. Meanwhile sally jackson tells him she named him after Perseus because she wanted a redemption for a hero whos story ended in tragedy. Meanwhile every book in the series replicates a greek myth step for step until the moment they break the cycle. Annabeth, playing Odysseus, is talked down from her hubris and grounded by her friends. Percy, playing Heracles, meets someone wronged by the original Heracles and rights his wrongs by refusing to go down the same selfish path as him. Monsters are reborn because they are--as the books explicitly call them--achetypes. These kids are stuck inside the cyclical nature of mythology because thats what happens to mythology, it gets retold over and over again. But these are the kids who have to live it. The series ends with percy being offered immortality and he rejects it because he wants to use his godly favor to force them to break their cycle of neglecting their kids. The series ends with a declaration that we cant keep letting this happen. The very first book offees the same choice. It ends with percy refusing to keep the head of medusa as a spoil of war, refusing his heroic reward. He lets his mother have the head and use it to kill gabe. Isnt that fucking crazy for a kids book? Gabe wasnt a Monster. He wasnt going to Turn to Dust and Disappear in a narratively convenient way. He was a living breathing mortal dude and percy and his mom killed him without remorse. Break the cycle of abuse!!!! Dont let this happen again!!! Anyway thats why the original percy jackson series is Hey where are you going with our breadsticks

[hativy]

Roxanne Weasley was thirteen years old, five foot two(and still growing), the Gryffindor daughter of two war heroes and the best prankster in all of Hogwarts, take that James.

She was quite proud of these facts, and wore them on her chest like they were badges.

But it’s not like anyone ever cared. 

Everyone seemed more preoccupied with paying attention to her brother, Freddie. They all have this idea in their heads that he’s supposed to be a carbon copy of their Uncle Fred.

Which will never happen, she didn’t understand why they think he will be. Her family spent thirteen year with Freddie and his small, quiet smiles and they still thought he’d be anything like his namesake.

People will see his Ravenclaw tie and the book in his hand as he’ll sit quietly in the corner in the room and they frown. 

They should not frown. 

Freddie is Freddie and he’s perfect the way he was, just because he wasn’t like someone he never met doesn’t mean they should whisper behind his back with disappointed tones.

And because of the spotlight on her brother he didn’t even want, it meant that Roxanne was invisible, pushed to the side to favor her twin brother. It didn’t matter how genius a prank she pulled off. It didn’t matter how well she did in Charms. She would always be Roxanne Weasley, the forgotten twin. 

Well, today Roxanne is going to kick that in the butt and pull the biggest prank she can. 

Bigger than her dad and Uncle Fred, bigger than the Marauders, bigger than any prank ever done on the grounds of Hogwarts. 

But first, she needed to sneak down to the Potions closet. 

Roxanne tried to be discreet as she tiptoed out of Gryffidnor common room. James could not find out she was doing this, he would immediately want to join and her little cousin wasn’t a thing she wanted to deal with right now.

Luckily, she managed to keep quiet and was almost to the staircase, preparing to walk down it then—

Mreow!

Oh no. 

Oh no. 

“What is it?” She heard Mr. Filch called from down the hall.

Roxanne glanced over to see a shadow appear in the light from the torchlight at the end of the hallway. 

Then booked it as fast and sneakily as she could. 

She spotted an open door, running in and turning the doorknob so it wouldn’t make it sound as she closed it. 

Roxanne waited a moment, listening until the echo of Filch's footsteps faded. 

Once she heard no trace of them, she leaned away from the door and sighed. 

That was a close one. 

“oooooo, what was all that about?”

Roxanne shrieked and whipped her head around to see no one else in the dark room. 

“Come on, don’t leave me hanging.”

She hoped she wasn’t going crazy

“That’s none of your business.” She said slowly. 

“Well, then I’ll make it my business! There isn’t a lot going on on this neck of the Hogwarts halls, I gotta take what I can get.” The voice answered jovially. It was a more masculine voice, and weirdly, it sounded familiar to her.

Roxanne frowned, quickly drawing her want and muttered, “lumos.”

She hoped Filch wouldn’t see the light coming from the room she was hiding out in. 

Roxanne moved her lit want towards the voice only to come face to face with her father. 

Her breath stilled. 

Because, one, it was a portrait, and two, it wasn’t exactly her father. 

Yes, the man in the painting shared the same face, the same Weasley red hair, even the same freckles and nose. But he was way younger, and he had both years. And the smile on his face was more mischievous and carefree than her father. 

Roxanne scrunched her eyebrows and glanced down to see a golden plague on the bottom of the portrait that said—

“Uncle Fred?!” She exclaimed with surprise.

Uncle Fred laughed, sound a bit startled, “I guess so, although I don’t recognize you. Which one of my siblings' little gremlins are you?”

“You’re going to have to guess,” Roxanne said, pretending she wasn't staring at her uncle in shock and a little bit of awe. She didn’t know he had a portrait at Hogwarts. Did Freddie? Did mum? Did dad?

At her nod, he hummed, “hmmm, let me guess, you can’t be Bill and Fleurs, I’ve already had a run in or two with their daughter. You are certainly not Percy’s! He’s an ol’ goody two-shoes and would have a heart attack seeing you sneak out in the middle of the night like you!”

Roxanne snorted, “his daughter would have a heart attack if she knew I snuck out tonight.”

They both laughed. She felt dazed, this was like a dream. 

“I guess you could be Charlie’s kid? Though, I thought he’d never have kids, his dragons were his kids, they were more his family than we were!’

“He sends christmas cards of baby dragons every year,” she told him. 

“Ha! Classic Charlie.” Fred examined her for a moment, contemplating his guess. 

“I can’t place it. You got to be Ron or Ginnys kid right? You have a bit of their rebellious streak—“

“I’m George’s kid.” Roxanne interrupted hurriedly.

Fred blinked, looking like he was taken aback. His eyes soften as he look back at her with a sorta of melancholy look.

“Oh.” He said simply. 

Roxanne fiddled with the bracelets stacked on her wrist, feeling put out by his reaction. Was he disappointed she was Georges daughter, did he think what everyone else thought, “oh there's Freddies sister, ignored her,” and he’ll ignore her even though all she wanted to do was talk to him?

“Yeah.” She eventually replied, to fill the silence. 

“I can’t imagine him all grown up. Having kids and all that” Fred murmured. 

And she took back her thoughts immediately. 

Fred never grew up, he stayed 20 years old. In this portrait and in the minds of people who knew him. While his twin brother grew into a man, no longer looking identical to Fred. 

Roxanne understood why he was so sad now. 

“I can bring you family pictures if you’d like.” she offered, not really knowing what to say to him. 

“Nah it’s fine,” Fred declined, waving his hand, “anyways, at least I kept my young handsome looks!”

She laughed, still noticting the weak way he said those words. She’ll ask her parents for pictures to send to her in her next letter. 

“So, what's your name? George Jr.?”

“No! It’s Roxanne,” she said, still laughing.

“Nice to meet’cha, Roxanne. But, you never answered my question, what are you doing lurking around in the dark?”

Roxanne lit up, excited to talk about her greatest prank ever. 

“So basically, I’m sneaking out to get some stuff from Potions so I can enchant the cups in the Great Hall so if anyone drinks anything from them their hair turns Gryffidnor red.”

Fred raised his eyebrows, “Wow, I’m impressed, that’s a high quality prank right there.”

She beamed with pride. 

“I know! I was careful that no one found out because it was so genius! It’s going to be hilarious,” she deflated, “if people actually cared I did it.”

“Why wouldn’t they care? It’s going to be so funny!’ Fred said while smiling at her.

She folded her arms and looked down, “‘cause everyone wants Freddie to do stuff like that. Not me. Never me.”

He scrunched his eyebrows, “Freddie?”

“My brother.” She replied dimly. 

Really, Roxanne loved her brother but it got old being pushed aside. 

“And his name is—“

“Fredrick Gideon Weasley, my resident twin brother.” 

Fred softened.

“He named his son after me,” he asked. 

Roxanne sorta wanted to punch something, everything always became about Freddie. But the look on her uncle's face looked like he wanted to cry so she just smiled and nodded. 

They fell silent, Roxanne looking around the room to see other portraits like Freds, except the people in them were sleeping. Thank Merlin the two of them didn’t wake them, it would have blown her cover immediately. 

“But why would people be mad if you do this but not your brother?” Fred eventually asked, drawing her away from her thoughts. 

“Because everyone wants Freddie to be like you,” she replied honestly,” he doesn’t do stuff like this. But everyone wants him to be Fred Weasley, fun prankster extraordinaire, not Freddie Weasley,the Ravenclaw who would rather sit in the library with a book. And because they were hooked on the fact he crushed their expectations, no one thinks I should be the prankster.”

She leaned on the wall opposite of Fred's painting, feeling tired all of a sudden, “so I’m just stuck trying to do something awesome no one will care as much as if James did it or Freddie just cracked a small joke.”

They fell into silence again until—

“Well, screw them, yeah?” Fred said. 

Roxanne blinked, “what?”

“Screw them, you’re going to do a hysterical prank, and pull it off. It's going to be amazing so if people don’t care what you did, why do they matter? Because you’ll be proud of what you've done and that what matters the most, ey?”

The words warmed Roxanne's heart, making her feel ten times better. Her uncle was right, why do they matter to her? At the end of the day, she’s doing something she’s proud of, why does she care about being noticed? 

“That was actually solid advice.” She replied, pretending his words didn’t affect her as strongly as it actually had. 

“Well being a portrait for like a decade really does wonders for your wisdom, I can tell you the secrets to the universe now.” He said, winking at her. 

She smiled, feeling more relaxed than she did before, then she  looked back the the closed door. 

“I better get going,” Roxanne announced sadly. 

“Well, go on your way then, don’t want to be caught by Filch. I don’t know how that man’s still here.”

“I don’t think even McGonagall knows,” she said, slowly turning the doorknob until she opened it without a sound.

Roxanne looked back at the portrait of Fred and smiled, “have a nice night.”

He smiled back, “have a fantastic night, you better come back to tell me how the prank went or i’ll jump through all of Hogwarts paintings until I find you myself.”

“Maybe I’ll not come just so you do that.”

“Hey you better not!” He called to her as she slipped back into the hallway, a smile on her face and her heart feeling happy. She couldn’t wait to come back to tell Fred how it went.

(The prank was pulled off perfectly and all the Slytherins were sulking. She told Fred all about it, laughing together. And for the first time in a long while, Roxanne didn’t feel invisible anymore)
