Hey guys, I was reading this article on 10 underrated villains and morgana is there. So as I’m reading her description thingy I notice it says THIS
Apparently Merlin and Arthur have a brotherly relationship. I’m sorry I didn’t know this show took place in Alabama. But who knows maybe it was fine then for brothers to fuck eachother. I agree with everything else tho
Anyways here’s the article if you want to read it:

You know, nothing could convince me that Ginny wrote the valentine’s poem in Chamber of Secrets. Absolutely nothing. That is 100% an on-brand Draco Malfoy ‘ploy’ (okay) to ‘piss off’ (sure) his ‘rival’ (uh huh).
I mean, first of all, we pretty much always get a Dramatic & Cunning Draco Prank in the books (until he gets older and shit starts getting more real). Not so much in book one — he was still in Planning and Seething Mode™️ — but after that, Draco was like:
Year two: Stay up all night composing the perfect valentine poem to embarrass and annoy Potter
Year three: Stay up all night making Dementor costumes to scare and piss off Potter
Year four: Stay up all night making Potter Stinks badges because I’m so well-adjusted about him and barely think of him at all, actually
Also, I’ve talked about this before, but it really just doesn’t sound like Ginny. Why would she compare his eyes to pickled toads? (Meanwhile, Draco would 100% do that.) Why would she refer to the ‘Dark Lord’, when we only see Voldemort referred to as that by death eaters? And she had so much shit going on at the time, and was terrified of the gaps in her memory and what was happening — I don’t think she was writing love poems.
And really, it’s the fact that Malfoy is the one to act like Ginny wrote it. Which tells me two things:
He’s noticed Ginny’s crush and dislikes it (and is jealous/angry at her about it….. like why else would he care?? why would he notice???)
He’s deflecting attention from himself as the actual author of the poem
I can just totally see Malfoy finding out about Lockhart’s valentine idea, scoffing at Crabbe and Goyle and being like “that’s so stupid”, but then thinking about it later and telling himself “this is the perfect way to embarrass Potter.” Twelve year old Draco staying up late in his four poster bed, coming up with hilarious rhymes for his not-at-all-romantic love poem….. I see it. I see the vision.
are you registered to vote? You should be. And you should vote blue all the way down the ballot if you don’t want to live in a racist country. Misha Collins supports Kamala Harris so why shouldn’t you?
