aww man i’m having super cute domestic life hades/persephone and cerberus feels now tho

• like hades, lord of the underworld, gets this three-headed terror dog and names him “spot”
  
• hades spends forever personally training cerberus, which mostly involves (unsuccessfully) teaching cerberus not to chase shades around and eat the innocent deads’ bones
  
• half of hades’ stuff is just constantly covered in dog spit because 3 times the heads means 3 times the slobber, and at this point he’s stopped caring (or really noticing) and has on more than one occasion handed somebody something completely soaked in cerberus drool
• hades is super nervous about introducing persephone to cerberus for the first time because, as mentioned above, he’s a three-headed terror dog, but at this point persephone isn’t phased by anything and she just immediately goes to rub cerberus’s belly and hades wants to cry a little
  
• cerberus goes absolutely bonkers when persephone comes back down to the underworld for the winter, because dogs are dogs and he really did think that she was never going to come back ever again and he missed her so, so much
• on a related note, hades especially hates the first few days after persephone leaves, because cerberus barks and whines nonstop for her
• cerberus, like the good dog he is, always fetches the mail for hades. by which i mean that, if hermes ever comes to give hades a message, cerberus tears through the underworld after him and eventually spits him out right at hades’s feet

#lbr hades whines as much as cerberus #theyre both a slobbering mass of despair on whatever passes as a couch in the underworld #so he hates cerberus’s reaction and the noise but he’s also probably like *tries to pat all three heads at once* #‘yes yes i know i know i miss her too’ #’:( :( :(’ x

Coming into a fandom early and watching it become an angry clusterfuck

Being in a dormant fandom that suddenly comes alive again after a new book/movie

Don’t forget about those who come in the midst of a fandom war.

if you ever feel left out just remember that you weren’t the fifth gryffindor guy in the marauders’ dormitory

I don’t know if the timeline works even a little bit but my headcanon was always that that fifth dude was Kingsley Shacklebolt and that he immediately made a conscious decision to stay the hell away from whatever those four idiots were up to and everyone was like “Yeah, good kid, studies hard, probably gonna be Minister one day if he manages to last his entire school career without committing four murders”.

HOLY SHIT.

Let’s talk about the First Amendment.

plzdiekthnxbye:

feministlisafrank:

Some time ago, some neanderthal in a reblog informed me that hate speech was protected by the First Amendment so I couldn’t be upset about it, and I rolled my eyes and continued with my day. Watching Trump caterwaul about people protesting his rallies taking away his freedom of speech reminded me of it, so for fun, let’s talk about it.

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

Things this means:

- the government can’t arrest you for having and voicing an opinion that it doesn’t like.

- the government can’t arrest or exile you for having religious beliefs that it doesn’t like. (For example, I don’t know, someone wanting to deport all of the Muslims because they don’t know anything about Islam and are terrified of things they don’t understand)

- the government can’t make laws that promote any religion over any other religion. (For example, I don’t know, prioritizing Christianity in a country that was founded in part to escape religious persecution)

- the government can’t arrest you for being an asshole if that’s the only thing you’re doing wrong.

- the government can’t arrest you because individual police officers don’t like your tone of voice or the color of your skin.

- the government can’t arrest you for participating in a peaceful protest. So people showing up at a Trump rally with signs and chanting isn’t restricting his freedom of speech, it is their exercising their freedom to peaceably assemble. His supporters violently removing protesters from rallies or starting fights after his appearance is canceled, however, is assault and punishable by law.

Things this doesn’t mean:

- regular citizens have to tolerate you being an asshole. They can call you out, they can refuse to listen to you, they can disagree with you loudly. You still have the right to the freedom of speech because you’re not in jail. Other people have the same right to tell you you’re wrong.

- people in other countries have to respect it. The First Amendment only applies to the Constitution, which only applies to the United States. When you’re posting on the internet, you’re interacting with people all over the world. Different countries are bound by different laws.

- that the things you’re saying are right. You can’t be arrested for having opinions, but that doesn’t mean every opinion a person voices is a correct or even worthwhile opinion. 

So the next time you get into an argument and your only defense for your statement is to cry “freedom of speech!” maybe take a moment to assess if your argument is actually worth defending.

 I was gonna say we learned in criminal law that the first amendment specifically does NOT cover:

• Obscenities
  
• Libel & Slander
  
• Fighting Words (a lot of hate speech can fall into this category)
  
• Child pornography
  
• Crimes involving speech
  
• Threats and even more.
  

Its not a free ticket to spew hate and bigotry just because you think its your “god given” right. Your religious freedoms are not more important than everyone’s human rights, which include the right to marry, the right to property, the right to vote and live and work in a peaceful environment without fear of anyone choosing to put you down and take away your ability to be a contributing member of society. We the people gave you those rights. Earn them by being a competent grown individual or lose them to fear mongering and propaganda.

I get really confused when americans, when talking about universal health care are like ‘yeh but it’s not free sweaty :) :) you have to pay it through taxes :) so gotcha!!’

and I’m like ….???? That’s the whole point??? Everyone pays their fair share so that no one has to be turned away because they don’t have insurance??? And no one has to set up a Fundraiser page just so that they DONT DIE???? So people don’t put off going to the doctor because they’re scared of going bankrupt?? Because healthcare is a RIGHT and should be free at the point of access?!?
