#harry gives him one

i love how draco and harry have the perfect setup for an 'enemies to even worse enemies' story about how their childish enmity turns into true hatred and violence as they grow up and join their respective sides of the war

but they keep missing their cues. every time either of them is in actual danger they immediately drops the whole rivalry thing and are willing to risk it all to save each other.

harry's like 'omg i hate draco so much he's totally a death eater' but after the sectumsempra incident he completely backs off even tho his suspicions are more confirmed than ever because he doesn't want to be in a situation where he could hurt draco and after the astronomy tower confrontation he actively lies to minimize draco's role in things and spends the rest of book 6 and all of book 7 worrying about him. and he saves him twice without hesitation in book 7.

and draco's like 'im a death eater now and i hate harry potter so much' but even though he knows firsthand what letting harry potter escape will mean for him and his family he doesn't identify him at the manor and says nothing when he sees that harry and ron are loose in their cell instead of still tied up and he lets harry take his wand while barely putting up a fight and in the room of requirement even unarmed he tries to stop crabbe and goyle from hurting harry and doesn't touch his mark to summon voldemort and his wand works perfectly for harry despite being of the most loyal core.

they really looked at the obvious 'narrative foils who go from petty rivals to deadly enemies' arc for their relationship and said 'lol no thanks we'd like to be narrative foils who dysfunctionally pine for 7 books instead'

also yall we need to step back from the harryvision and understand that kim, at his core, is a loser (affectionate) like everyone else. so much out there wants to portray him as limitless patience, great cook, super organized, good handwriting, nice tasteful living quarters etc and that's fun to contrast him to harry but well i am here to RUIN that we need to take off the du bois glasses and appreciate kim for the weirdguy that he is. he has horrific fits of road rage and harry genuinely fears for his life riding along with him and witnessing the generational curses this man is capable of unleashing upon the stupid little fucks that cut him off on the 8/81. he has never had the time or space or budget to learn to cook so he lives off deli sandwiches and butter noodles and the occasional grab-and-go fruit. he writes so much so frequently with such awful handwriting that he has invented a new form of shorthand and the moralintern is contacting him to create a cipher system for them. he has no resources to furnish and maintain a nice flat so it's like a slightly gentrified r/malelivingspace but with a table for his sewing machine and there's scrap fabric and thread and half-pinned half-hemmed pants strewn about the place. there are absolutely a bunch of shitty mockups of his old wirral character in the backs of his notebooks and he hasn't played it in years but if he ever picks it back up then his minmax high int high dex definitely-not-a-self-insert sidhe artificer is READY. everyone add your weirdguy kim thoughts NOW 👇

the only correct way to write proper high-stake sci-fi finale is to get 3 very gay men and ask them to improvise the most camp, slutty and intense game of catch (also helps if one is trouser-less)

look, they knew exactly what they were doing

the tension, oh gawd the tension

15's face kills me everytime

honestly show me a scene with a better sequence of events (bet you can't), I'll wait right here

I am still on my Ducklings that Drown bullshit Oop @thegrimreaperisanerd

I just know this bitch has chronic pain after that crash even years later. And in Martinaise? Where it’s freezing? Forget about it, he’s miserable.

Current hc is that silly little hip tilt when he’s still is the only comfortable way for him to stand and their idle animation stretch does wonders for this poor man’s spine.

[beloved-child-of-the-house]

Standing in the town square ringing my bell and yelling like Harry is the special one!!! Draco is the one who is just some guy!!!! Harry literally saved the world twice and had a prophecy made about him!!!! Draco is simply mean, blond, and rich!!!! Harry is the bold, adventurous, and self directed one!!! Draco is the one who does exactly what is expected of him!!!! Draco is a bad person, but he is not a bad boy his behavior sucks but it’s not subversive in the context of their culture!!! Harry literally overthrew the government!!! He robbed a bank and stole a dragon!!!! Hello?? Hello???

happy fourth of july does anyone else think about how messed up it was that R*wling chose for Fred to die in front of Percy of all people. Who just broke free from the Ministry and who has returned to mend his relationship with his family and help tight for peace. Who finally gets to see the people he loves again, who he would jump into the Great Lake for, who he’d completely destroyed his relationship with because he valued their opinions so much, only for his little brother to die mid-sentence. And that sentence was about how Fred remembers an old, happy version of him and how that version might be poking through, as if he’s relieved, like he’s been waiting for his big brother to finally crack a joke, and just as his comes to the surface he’s gone. Percy got that glimpse of a close relationship with Fred, who had always opposed him the most, who he got along with the least, and then shockingly lost it all right after. Him throwing himself over Fred’s body, trying to protect him until the very last moment. Not budging when Ron tried to DRAG him off. And how will that affect the rest of his life? Will he forever blame himself? Will he never crack a joke again? I’m SICKKKKK

WHAT DID YOU SAAAAAY?

I love it when they make things like this 😍

[blorger]

“I must be jumping to wildly erroneous conclusions here, Potter, because it sounds an awful lot like you’re propositioning me.” “That’s not actually wildly erroneous,” Harry says carefully. “I meant it sounds like you’re propositioning me for sex.” Harry bobs his head in a stupid way that he hopes he can deny was a nod if Malfoy reacts badly. Thankfully, Malfoy only continues to gape. “That’s… But why on earth would you come to me with this?” “Who else is there?” Malfoy waves his arm in a gesture that encompasses the castle and grounds. “Literally any other person in the world.” “I’m not sleeping with any of my friends,” Harry says bluntly. “A valid opinion, I suppose, but apart from those two people…” “And see it in the Prophet the day after?” “Ah, worried about the reaction? A lack of confidence in your ability to satisfy?” Malfoy nods. “Makes sense.”

Simon Cowell Is Looking for the Next One Direction

The industry veteran will host open call auditions across the UK next month and might be capturing his search in an upcoming documentary series

BY LARISHA PAUL JUNE 4, 2024

When One Direction formed on The X Factor UK in 2010, it was like capturing a million different rare occurrences at once — lightning in a bottle, a total solar eclipse, shooting stars, volcanic eruptions, winning the lottery, all of it. Simon Cowell looked at his creation — though it was actually Nicole Scherzinger who had a large hand in assembling them — with stars and dollar signs in his eyes. Nearly 14 years after they came together and nine since they last released music as a group, Cowell is kicking off an official search for the next One Direction.

“Every generation deserves a megastar boyband and I don’t think there has been one to have the success of One Direction in over 14 years. The industry tends to focus on solo artists – so it usually takes someone from outside to put a group together,” Cowell shared in a statement announcing plans to host open call auditions across the UK to find young hopefuls willing to go through the boy band boot camp process.

Cowell’s journey toward creating another pop-dominating band will be captured for a “potential documentary series,” set to be produced with Box to Box Films. The documentary production company is best known for its work on Netflix’s Formula 1: Drive to Survive series. A streaming service has not yet been attached to Cowell’s project. Netflix recently announced the new reality series Building the Band, which will bring members of a new band together on the whims of chemistry without them ever meeting each other.

Auditions for the new band will begin next month in Newcastle, Dublin, Liverpool, and London. Beyond One Direction, Cowell has had a hand in the formation of the successful girl groups Little Mix and Fifth Harmony and the less successful boy bands CNCO and PrettyMuch, both of which have since disbanded. Still, the industry veteran isn’t looking at his past track record as a guarantee for success with the act he’s searching for now.

“There’s always a high degree of risk, and I genuinely have no idea what’s going to happen! We might uncover an incredible group; we might not get there,” he shared. “What if no one shows up to auditions? That could be awkward. There is no guaranteed path to success – anything can happen, but that’s what’s exciting for me, and that’s why I’m doing this.”

Sirius Black knits jumpers for Remus Lupin

I will never be over the fact that Lily Potter was the one who defeated Voldemort in 1981 and she was never given proper credit for it in canon. We barely even know anything about her and she was the one who defeated the snake faced bitch the first time around. It drives me insane. Lily deserved so much better than what the books ever gave her.

I think it’s be funny to have a Spider-Man that is genuinely just a kid, not like a teenager or a kid who understands the gravity of his abilities but a kid who does heroics simply because that’s cool to a kid.

The gimmick is that the villains think it’s a gimmick and Spider-Man(?) fucks with them by acting like a kid to make ‘em feel bad or embarrass them only for them to realize he’s a literal child due to a forced team up where they like offer him a brewski afterwards and he’s legitimately like “Mr I am 9 years old, I just do this cause my aunt can’t take me to the park every afternoon.” And they grill him on adult things and he sits there just blanking cause he’s fucking 9.

My friend said that Harry Shitter would be a transandrophobia truther and I am literally SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP AT HOW ACCURATE THAT IS 😭 HE WOULD THO

I love the trope of “kid without a mother/father figure discovers magical world and gains 4 of them”

Snape, to this day, forgets he's a wizard, and will use physical force for things magic can take care of (stuck jars, high objects, ect)

Sirius keeps forgetting he's just human. Meaning that if he doesn't have his wand he will absolutely fail at the most basic tasks if they require more than the bare effort. A jar's lid is on a little too tight? He abandons it because it doesn't work anymore. Something is too high up? It stays there. The floor is wet? Wait, floors get wet??? (nepo baby black never had to dry a floor in his life. because of this he hasn't realised that no, floors don't magically dry themselves, some house elf was always doing it). Literally any task that isn't magic focused, he can't do (again, Nepo Baby Black)

So when they're all living together and can't use magic, Severus is at his wits end because he thought he was clueless about stuff (neglectful depressed mum and abusive dad means that he never got taught a lot of things), but at least he knows that no, duvets arent designed to flatten out with time, no, clothes do not lose the creases if hung up, and NO, JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T OPEN THE MARMITE DOESN'T MEAN ITS BROKEN STOP THROWING OUT FOOD YOU ABSOLUTE BLOODY SHOPPING TROLLEY-!
