I made this post because today two guys came into the store and one kept purposely referencing Rick and Morty, while the other had never seen the show and the first guy was trying to make it seem like an awful thing that guy 2 had never seen it and was thinking he was superior for knowing a bunch of useless facts about the show. Meanwhile guy 2 looked visibly uncomfortable. While his was happening, some girls were arguing saying “you can’t be a fan of supernatural if you’ve only seen 4 seasons”.
I felt like I was living out a fucking tumblr post and I’m only keeping this job to get a discount on jeans
today i learned that, when Jared Leto sent Margot Robbie a live rat as a part of his rude, bullshit “method acting” fo Suicide Squad, she was scared but still refused to abandon or harm the rat.
she overcame her initial fear in order to buy him a proper set up and take care of him until she found the rat a reliable owner, who… ended up being Guillermo del Toro for some reason?
so yeah that’s what happened with the Suicide Squad rat
Just like Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore collects people. Only, instead of focusing on those with influence, he looks to the outcasts.
The expelled half-giant. The young werewolf. The repentant Death Eater.
He protects them and gives them a second chance. All he asks in return is their loyalty.
And, if on occasion he requests that they undertake a certain task, invoking their debt of gratitude – well, that is no more than he is owed.
He once thought to add a certain disowned Black to his collection, but quickly realised his mistake.
Sirius is not an outcast, but a rebel. He knowingly chose his path, and chooses what price he is willing to pay for it. He refuses to be used.
So Albus Dumbledore abandons him.
Who gave you the RIGHT?
Dumbledore knows Sirius’s loyalty lies with Harry instead of him, and he has no use for someone who is not willing to follow his orders without question.
Ooooohoo if there’s ever a post that fits my aesthetic…
okay but then where does Harry himself fit into this collection? Is he an outcast because he is “the Boy Who Lived”?
Nooonono, my friend, that’s what makes this post so beautiful. Because it fits the meta I’ve been trying to get people to accept for years.
Harry was an outcast due to a childhood filled with abuse and neglect.
Vernon made him an outcast by dismissing his claims of magic, berating him, locking him in a CLOSET and putting bars on his window, and let’s face it, even though her editor made her cut it out, Jo intended for there to be physical abuse.
Petunia made him an outcast by enabling and contributing to this abuse, as well as making Harry do dozens of chores while doting on Dudley.
Dudley made him an outcast by bullying him and threatening any students at school who wanted to be his friends.
And the rest of the wizarding world made him an outcast when they bullied him for being an outsider.
Harry James Potter became an outcast the moment he was placed with The Dursleys.
And who put him there in the first place?
I’m here for this Anti-Dumbledore discussion.
This makes even more sense when you consider why Dumbledore deliberately made Harry an outcast.
Think about it What would Harry have been like if he had grown up in the wizarding world? Or, to put it another way, what would Harry have been like if he had grown up in a world where magic was the norm?
He would have taken magic for granted. He would have been less likely (especially as he got older) to view Dumbledore as a wise mentor and more likely to see him as flawed and capable of bad decisions. He would have seen both the world and Dumbledore as ordinary, with their good points and bad points.
But Dumbledore didn’t need a well-adjusted boy who took magic and the magical world for granted. He needed a child who would love the magical world unstintingly, even irrationally, because it was a haven from neglect and abuse. Even more, he needed a child who feared this world becoming evil and who therefore would not question someone that he saw as the ultimate authority, especially if he believed that obeying that authority would keep the world safe.
Even if obedience meant his own death.
Dumbledore wanted a martyr who would die for the wizarding world, because he believed that Voldemort could not die until Harry did. Which was why he left Harry with the Dursleys and let them neglect and emotionally abuse him for the next ten years.
To get a martyr, he first had to create a victim.
man I do NOT like albus Dumbledore I am filled with salt fight me
I LOVE this, it’s such a cool character analysis and motivation theory.
Cis: I’m here to show my support! Tucutes: how about fucking no. Cis: okay nvm, fuck y’all I’m out. Tucutes: FUCKING TRANSPHOBE.
What are straight/cis people expected to do, then?
God that poor chick. These people are the reason people are afraid to show support or don’t support us at all.
Good job you bunch of cunts you’re giving every reason for actual bigots to hate you more and never want to learn anything, and people who were ready to help a reason to despise you, well done, are you happy now, look at all these oppression points.
How is acting like this helping anyone? If the goal is wider societal acceptance for trans people I’m pretty sure treating cis people like shit is going to have the opposite effect.
There’s a good chance that the cis person in the picture will become transphobic and use the excuse “well I tried to show my support but they just became aggressive at me!”
LGBT Leftbook is one of the biggest mistakes on social media. It’s either tankies or LGBT people but tbh it’s typically just trenders pissing their pants at the universe and idolising Stalin.
