Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win
Month
I think we should all celebrate by taking a moment to appreciate Robert Pattinson’s attitude and I’m laughing so much right now.
JUST ALL THAT HE IS.
I mean
LOOK
Robert Pattinson’s ‘Twilight’ commentary.
I just
I’m going to miss this
Who would have thought he hated Twilight so much?
This guy.
He hates Twilight more than Stephen King.
It is honestly really fucking gross.
Rowling’s never asked for credits or cookies for Dumbledore being gay or this kid being Jewish. Someone asked her a question, she gave them an answer. She answers a lot of questions. And hell, it’s not just this. People get pissed at her for revealing any info. “New backstory on Umbridge? Omg she’s so desperate for attention.” Funny that other authors can release compendiums, appendixes, etc. of additional information, and it’s awesome, but when Rowling does the same damn thing in the form of twitter, book tours, and Pottermore, it’s awful of her.
Yeah the media plays it up like she made this HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT but these tumblr users, who claim to be socially aware, should know that the media often portrays things oddly so it’s best to go to the source. And it’s not like HP is ongoing either. It’s not like Steven Moffat who said that River Song was bisexual and then made a biphobic excuse as to why he couldn’t add it into the actual show in future episodes.
Rowling just answered a couple of fan questions. She’s never made an excuse. She’s never done anything to draw over the top attention to it. That just happens because of her fame. She’s never used it as a response when someone asks about diversity in the books themselves (i.e. ‘why aren’t there more gay characters?’ ‘oh well Dumbledore is gay’). She has never done that.
That she thinks this ‘counts’ and that she’s asking for pats on the backs is 100% baseless.
@jk-rowling my wife said there are no Jews at Hogwarts. I’m a Jew so I assume she said it to be the only magical 1 in the family. Thoughts?
@benjaminroffman Anthony Goldstein, Ravenclaw, Jewish wizard.
She later clarifies that there are other Jewish students, but Anthony is the one she knows best since he’s one of the ‘original forty’ students she created; aka Harry’s year (Judaism isn’t a huge religion in the UK btw, it averaging out to around one in every two hundred people). Wow. Such arrogance. Such reaching for representation points. Not just answering a question quickly and simply.
If you want to talk about lack of representation in Harry Potter, that’s totally fine and it’s a legitimate discussion. But the entire “ROWLING EXPECTS PROPS AND CREDIT FOR STUFF SHE SAYS AFTER THE BOOKS” is completely without merit.
Tumblr hates successful women, news at eleven.
writing “sorry” at the bottom of your math test
so my mum just came into my room and goes “i made something for you” and gives me this funny little brown book
and inside it she wrote
and then on every single page she’s written something lovely like “beautiful” “funny” ”generous” etc
every single page
this is because she found out about my self harming a few weeks ago, and wants me to have something to look at every time i feel sad

My friend told me about a watercolouring techinque where you mix sugar and water and after “painting” the paper with the liquid, you add the watercolour.
I wanted to try it out and took a couple of photos…
I give up arting forever
What the hell
whenever people pretend like we white don’t give our kids horrible names i just think of this
what the fuck is all these letters
This poor baby
do actors get boners while making sex scenes this is one of the things i’ve wondered my whole life
Idk if you actually care for the answer, but they have to put their dicks in little sleeves that attach to the leg so if they get a boner it just get held down.
that sounds like a garment that should be sold everywhere and considered polite if not mandatory to wear, like bras
Omg I can’t
As a guy I second this.
More black princesses, more black fairies, more black mermaids, more black girls doing all the things, for fucks sake
More all girls doing all things for all fucks sake.
More black princesses, more black fairies, more black mermaids, more black girls doing all the things, for fucks sake
I would nominate Haley Atwell as the next James Bond but it would be a step down from being Peggy Carter.
if i’m ever rich i’m gonna always leave huge tips, like 200%. that’s like the dream. having enough money to give some waitress 40 bucks extra just because she’s nice.
i feel like every little black girl should go see annie fr.
I think every little girl should go see Annie
FOR GOD’S SAKE.
EVERY LITTLE BLACK GIRL SHOULD GO SEE ANNIE. THEY SHOULD SEE THAT THEY ARE THE PROTAGONIST TOO. THIS IS IMPORTANT. TO ANY BLACK GIRLS READING THIS, YOU ARE THE KICKASS PROTAGONIST OF YOUR OWN STORY, AND ANYONE WHO SAYS DIFFERENT NEEDS TO SIT THEIR ASS DOWN.
GET OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR BULLSHIT.
Sorry, sort of lost my temper.
Our boy has awful taste in men.
NEVER EVER NOT REBLOG
so I said, “I’m actually a boy, Miss.”
Then one of my classmates slams his hands on the desks and shouts, “YOU’RE NO BOY!”
I turned around to him.
he said, “YOU’RE A MAN.”
I turned back around sheepishly smiling while all my male classmates cheered and shouted, my teacher simply smiled, apologized, and the lesson continued.
I’m thankful for that moment in my life, it gives me hope for the future.
That more trans people will be supported, and visible.
ches
I’m sorry you’ve been made to believe that the whole of Africa is poor, I really am..
Reblogging for those of you who think Africa is only what the media and movies portrays it to be
This fucks me up because it’s scary to think that we can be showed something all our lives and not even know it’s a lie
Whenever someone uses this
On a post about Grant Ward. I will now respond with
You have been warned
Strap in, this is gonna get weird.
One of the most celebrated figures in Japanese history is Uesugi Kenshin, known as the Dragon of Echigo. He was a daimyo (feudal lord) loved for his idealism and feared for his skill in battle. He was so skilled with war that some…
if a guy friend that you’re romantically interested in asks you out, reject him first as a test to see whether he’ll get angry and accuse you of friendzoning him or respect your decision and be willing to carry on being friends
Example of why women are fucking crazy hahahaha
i’m a man
The difference between learning a modern language and an ancient language is that in first year French you learn “Where is the bathroom?” and “How do I get to the train station?” and in first year Attic Greek or Latin you learn “I have judged you worthy of death” and “The tyrant had everyone in the city killed.”
