Current Mood: Watching Starkid Musicals Over And Over Again Till I Start Breaking Into A Song In The

Justin sitting on the couch with Clay and Jessica and saying "i love you guys" in that ridiculous tone is everything

Huh, I don’t really think that JK intended to portray Hermione as a white savior, because every rational character in the book dismisses her or shuts her up NOT because she’s trying to speak for elves but just because she’s trying to speak about the problem that exists. And we’re supposed to sympathize with the characters that are annoyed with her. In fact, I have no fucking idea what Rowling was trying to say with this. On one hand, everybody totally makes fun of Hermione for her activism because almost everybody thinks that elves being slaves is okay, and Hermione is just delusional because “elves are a race of servants”, which is sick. On the other hand, Hermione does try and free the elves by force (like wtf?), which fits into the white savior trope, but people who call her out on that are the ones that tell her that elves being slaves is fine. Seriously I can’t fully understand what the fuck Rowling was trying to convey. If she wanted her readers to see Hermione as a “white savior”, why didn’t she give any agency to elves and made them a race that is happy to be slaves and even offended when somebody mentions their possible freedom? I’m sO CONFUSED 

Oh god did JK Rowling R E A L L Y create a fictional race of slaves that actually liked being slaves and - oh my- took it as a personal attack when you tried to tell them about the unfairness of the situation?

Good god.

With each other? Who with who? Henry??

Henry: Francis, Charles, Camilla, and I performed a bacchanal in the woods and saw Dionysus himself.

Honestly it's so weird that starkid doesn't get more acknowledgement and appreciation for basically inventing Harry Potter. Like this Joanne lady just wrote some fanfiction about the very potter series and suddenly she gets all the credit.

what is tumblr if not a waste bin for all my hyperfixations 

My three moods

Road trip aesthetics when you're underage

* Stopping at the gas station and buying incredibly overpriced granola bars because you're a stupid lazy fuck who left all the snacks at home

* Struggling with the seat belt

* Having no data in the middle of the woods

* Fighting with your father for the right to pick the music (and losing eventually)

* Numb ass

* Trying to concentrate on reading but failing

* Begging your father to stop in the meadow so you could run through the grass but not getting permission to do it

* Akward silence for 3+ hours

* Dehydration though you brought water

Time to obsess over Bill Hader folks
